FirstSortedValue and Aggr

SingSing16 — Mon, 23 Jan 2023 13:01:24 GMT

I have issue with creation of dimension including FirstSortedValue as well Aggr.
I already created some measure including value which I am interested but in this case I need to create chart including this values as dimension.

Project_Number	Project_History_Field	Project_History_Value	Historical_field_change_date
P123	Project_Status	Not started	2022-10-11
P123	Username	Lisa M.	2020-12-17
P123	Project_Status	In progress	2023-01-02
P456	Project_Status	On-hold	2023-01-15
P789`	Project_Stage	Review	2020-11-15
P789	Project_Status	In progress	2020-12-28
P789	Project_Status	Cancelled	2021-12-12

I need to gain only one Project_History_Value according to Project_Status (in Project_History_Field) for single Project_Number according to the newst date.

I tried to create dimension according to this:

=FirstSortedValue({<[Project_History_Field]={"Project_Status"}>}[Project_History_Value],
-Aggr(Max([Historical_field_change_date]),Project_History_Field))

Formally it works but but doesn't if I want to create table or chart with it.

Please help me.

Best Regards

Will this work?

I edited your formula slightly and used FirstSortedValue({<[Project_History_Field]={"Project_Status"}>}[Project_History_Value],-[Historical_field_change_date])

Hello,

I created measure at the beginning excatly the same as you wrote, but I need to create dimension for my chart.

Because of that I tried this with Aggr:

=FirstSortedValue({<[Project_History_Field]={"Project_Status"}>}[Project_History_Value],
-Aggr(Max([Historical_field_change_date]),Project_History_Field))

but it does not works on chart.

Any other idea?

What about adding fields in the load script to identify the most recent changed record and then apply its status to all of the records for that project as a new field?

raw:
load * inline [
Project_Number, Project_History_Field, Project_History_Value, Historical_field_change_date
P123, Project_Status, Not started, 2022-10-11
P123, Username, Lisa M., 2020-12-17
P123, Project_Status, In progress, 2023-01-02
P456, Project_Status, On-hold, 2023-01-15
P789, Project_Stage, Review, 2020-11-15
P789, Project_Status, In progress, 2020-12-28
P789, Project_Status, Cancelled, 2021-12-12

]
;

left Join
load
Project_Number,
max(Historical_field_change_date) as Most_Recent_Change_Date
resident raw
where Project_History_Field = 'Project_Status'
group by Project_Number;

left join
Load
Project_Number,
Project_History_Value as Most_Recent_Status
resident raw
where Historical_field_change_date = Most_Recent_Change_Date;

This gave me the following table:

to create a calculated dimension wrap the expression in Aggr() as below

=Aggr(FirstSortedValue({<Project_History_Field={'Project_Status'}>} Project_History_Value,-Historical_field_change_date),Project_Number)
