I am trying for hours using Pivot table to create a "summary" table, something like this:

[TABLE="width: 270"]
<colgroup><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD="align: right"]2[/TD]
[TD="align: left"]Start[/TD]
[TD="align: left"]End[/TD]

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Sort by date Sort by votes
Try this

With Data on Sheet1 in columns A B and C and data has a header

Insert Pivot Table

Drag Machine to Rows section
Drag Product to Rows section
Drag Date into Values
Click on Count of Date in Values
Select Value Field Settings and choose Min
Drag Date into Values
Click on Count of Date in Values
Select Value Field Settings and choose Max

In a blank cell enter a date and time, any date and time
Select that cell
Click on Format Painter and paste over the Pivot Table so all the dates change to dates and times
Widen the column so you can see the output.

This will list the min/max dates per machine per product.

NOTE: You have multiple product groups for each machine, ie Machine 1 has product D occurring twice.
You'll need to isolate these products to have them appear separately on the Pivot Table otherwise it will just group them under one D product.
So you'll need an extra column to isolate each product.
