Sum consecutive values

Adolfo

Hello,

 

There is a table with a large amount of values taken every 15min. I would like to sum them in order to obtain one value per hour.

 

For example, the original table is:

            DATE                          VALUE

2020-04-01 06:00:14                  15

2020-04-01 06:15:14                  20

2020-04-01 06:30:14                  05

2020-04-01 06:45:14                  10

2020-04-01 07:00:14                  15

2020-04-01 07:15:14                  20

2020-04-01 07:30:14                  10

2020-04-01 07:45:14                  30

etc

 

The result could be something like this (although the null values are no longer needed):

              DATE                         VALUE          SUM

2020-04-01 06:00:14                  15                50

2020-04-01 06:15:14                  20                null

2020-04-01 06:30:14                  05                null

2020-04-01 06:45:14                  10                null

2020-04-01 07:00:14                  15                75

2020-04-01 07:15:14                  20                null

2020-04-01 07:30:14                  10                null

2020-04-01 07:45:14                  30                null

etc

 

I would like to remove the null values, so that the final result could be:

                DATE                       VALUE          SUM

2020-04-01 06:00:14                  15                50

2020-04-01 07:00:14                  15                75

etc

 

Is it possible? I'm a new Alteryx user and I've trying for hours with no success.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Adolfo ,

 

I think, you should "round" the time to the hour level using the DateTimeTrim function, summarize the values and keep the first date for each hour. I've attached a sample workflow. Let me know if it works for you.

 

Best,

 

Roland
