Hi there
I have a replicated and summary table from the real dataset.

Level 3 | Belle | 8:12:00 | 8am |
Level 3 | Alice | 9:04:00 | 9am |
Level 6 | Elsa | 8:55:00 | 8am |
Level 1 | Elsa | 9:00:00 | 9am |

Level 5 | Isabella | 9:01:00 | 9am |
Level 5 | Jack | 9:02:00 | 9am |
Level 5 | Elsa | 9:00:04 | 9am |
Level 6 | Alice | 9:01:00 | 9am |
Level 6 | Elsa | 9:00:05 | 9am |
I would like to perform distinct count by user name per floor per hourly with condition that if a user visited multiple floors with the hour than only count once with the earliest session time.
eg. Elsa visited level 4, 5 & 6 within 8am (hourly column) and the earliest session time of all were the 8:05:00 which she visited level 4. so count her once for level 4 at 8am and ignore the rest of her visited floors within the hour.
Also, Elsa visited every floor within 9am but count her once for level 1 at 9am (earliest session time).
Expected output as below (sometimes its easier in excel) :
I have done some research on the matter but am completely stuck. really appreciate if any one can shed some light.
Thanks in advance
Thanks for your suggestion.
Although, if a distinct count is used, the sum of the total for all floors would be 30. I would like to distinct count by the first visit to a floor within an hourly time frame.
