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.
Date | Action | Person |
jan 1 | Book | Peter |
jan 2 | Paper | James |
jan 2 | Book | John |
jan 4 | Book | Peter |
jan 4 | Book | Peter |
jan 5 | Paper | James |
jan 6 | Book | James |
jan 7 | Paper | John |
jan 8 | Book | Peter |
jan 9 | Paper | Peter |
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:
1 | 2 | >=3 | |
Book | 2 | 1 | |
Paper | 2 | 1 |
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:
1 | 2 | >=3 | |
Book | 2 | 1 | |
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.
