"windowing a discontinuous data set"

pop

Hello,

I have a set of intraday data over several days. I am using the windowing operator on it.
The window size is small with regard to the number of intraday data so most of the windowed examples are made of data from the same day, but this operator will, as expected,  create some examples that include data from 2 different days.
I would like to remove those examples as they make no sense.
Any idea for creating this kind of filter??

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi there Pop,

You can probably get what you want by using the "Date to Numerical" operator, which can strip the components from a date_time attribute. In the following example data is filtered by the minute of the timestamp, leaving only those from a quarter past the hour.
