Summarizing Multiple Timestamps

Hello, 

 

I have not been able to find the solution to this in the history, and I hope that someone can help.  I need to summarize multiple timestamps to determine how much time a single order was put "on hold".

 

This is the source data:

Order IDAuditMessageTimestamp
ABCOnHold2/8/2018 4:40
ABCRevertedOnHold3/6/2018 14:22
ABCOnHold6/8/2018 4:40
ABCRevertedOnHold7/6/2018 14:22
DEFOnHold6/25/2018 7:17
DEFRevertedOnHold6/29/2018 7:08
GHIOnHold5/26/2018 18:33
GHIOnHold5/26/2018 18:41
GHIOnHold5/26/2018 18:45
GHIOnHold5/26/2018 18:51
GHIOnHold5/26/2018 18:53
GHIOnHold5/26/2018 18:59
GHIRevertedOnHold5/26/2018 18:35
GHIRevertedOnHold5/26/2018 18:42
GHIRevertedOnHold5/26/2018 18:49
GHIRevertedOnHold5/26/2018 18:52
GHIRevertedOnHold5/26/2018 18:55
GHIRevertedOnHold5/26/2018 19:00

 

I need to transform it to look like the below.  I would like to dynamically add a column each time a single order goes beyond the current limit if possible, but that is not necessary.

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi!

 

If I've understood the requirement here, you need a couple of data preparation tools to frame the data correctly before you drop in a 'Crosstab' tool to pivot the table into the format you have below. 

 

I've used a Multi-Row formula tool to work out the order of occurrence of each status before the Cross-Tab tool. I then used a regular Formula tool to get the formatting of the columns correct. 

 

Hope this helps!
