I'm sure this is simple and I'm searching the forums, but I think I'm probably searching on the wrong terms or trying to tackle this problem the wrong way.
I have a simple table that I want to filter out duplicates in certain dimensions but not others (in the same way I can filter out null values in some dimensions but leave them others). So in my table below, I want to filter out the duplicate values in the WRKORDNBR dimension. Ultimately, I want to create a measure that will total the AMTBILLED dimension where WRKORDNBR is unique. So on the example below, I only care about the first row where WRKORDNBR was 962217 and would like to hide the second row (with the later SUMMIT DATE).
Thanks!
Hi Drew,
If you look at the dimensions such as SUMMIT DATE, there are different values for the entry 962217 so it is not a real duplication and in order to remove the repitition, just don't bring the SUMMIT DATE dimension. Again, it is not a duplication, there are unique records in SUMMIT DATE dimension.
Hope this helps
Sinan - I realize that the rows are not duplications and if I removed the SUMMIT DATE dimension my problem would be solved. Unfortunately I need to show the SUMMIT DATE, but only care about the first SUMMIT DATE for a WRKORDNBR.
Then I suggest that you remove the SUMMIT DATE dimension and add an expression such as Min(SUMMIT DATE) to display the first summit date.
I get an "Invalid dimension" when I try to do this.
I think you are trying to enter the expression where a dimension is expected. I don't have a Sense model handy to check the entry name, but it will be something like Expressions or Measures
This is where I'm adding it. I've added other expressions that are working fine.
Hi Drew,
You need to use "Measure" option, not "Dimension". Please see the below screenshot:
When you hit "Add column", choose "Measure" and insert your Min([SUMMIT DATE]) expression:
If you choose "Dimension", it will throw an error of "Invalid dimension":
And finally, your final table will look like the below:
Let me know if this is what you are looking for.
Thanks
