Aggregating count of counts filter by date

Need help aggregating and filtering the underlying data by date.

 

Peter, James and John perform actions (they read books and/or papers) on dates January 1 to January 9.

 

DateActionPerson
jan 1BookPeter
jan 2PaperJames
jan 2BookJohn
jan 4BookPeter
jan 4BookPeter
jan 5PaperJames
jan 6BookJames
jan 7PaperJohn
jan 8BookPeter
jan 9PaperPeter

 

I want to aggregate this data by Action to show how many times a certain action was performed by somebody during a given date interval. And I must be able to filter dates. If we take the data over all dates we get:

 12>=3
Book2 1
Paper21 

 

This shows that in the full time interval 2 persons read a book ONE time (James and John), and 1 person read a book AT LEAST THREE times (Peter, he did it 4 times).

Also, 2 persons read a paper ONE time and 1 person read a paper TWICE.

 

If we take January 2-6 we get this:

 12>=3
Book21 
Paper 1 

 

Here we see that again 2 persons read ONE book and 1 person read TWO.

And 1 person read the paper TWICE.

 

So, I need to aggregate like this, filter by date and show number of events like 1, 2, and >=3.

 

Ideas?

@DrH , I think you need Dynamic Segmentation Bucketing Binning on count measure, refer example

Thanks for the attempt, but nope, that is not what I am looking for.
