Hi,
I am trying to find the peak concurrent usage of a specific application.
I do know the begin time and end time a specific machine which used said application.
We do not know which day has the highest peak usage. We do not know which hour had the highest peak usage.
I am trying to learn how to count the number of machines which are actively using the same program throughout the day.
Which would produce a graph similar to the following photo.
I have a sample of data like this:

Hi, @Anonymous
my browser is not happy with the link you have pasted, not happy at all. It throws a lot of security warnings. Is there somewhere else you could share your file?
Cheers,
Sturla
Sure thing! Thanks for informing me. I had much more data than 20k characters. I edited my original post to have a sample of data smaller than 20k.
