Max(FirstDate) excluding last month using set analysis

quilldew — Mon, 21 May 2018 12:57:26 GMT

Hi guys,

I've been trying to work this one out all morning, and have done a search but can't find anything I can understand that answers this question. I'm pretty sure I've asked it myself, but can't find it on my dashboard :S

I have a list of clients, and a each client has various 'FirstDate' listed against them.

I want a straight table to show the max(FirstDate) excluding all where that max(FirstDate) is within this current month. I've tried with set analysis, using variables, using MonthName() and MonthStart(), just can't get it to work.

TIA.

Can you elaborate on this using an example?

perhaps

=Max({<FirstDate < {$(=MonthStart(Today()))}>} FirstDate)

Max({<FirstDate = {"<$(=MonthStart(Today()))"}>} FirstDate)

(depends on format of FirstDate)

Hi Sunny,

Take:

LOAD * INLINE [

Person, FirstDate

1, 02/03/2018

1, 03/03/2018

1, 06/05/2018

2, 03/06/2017

2, 12/12/2017

];

I would like a straight table that shows:

1, 03/03/2018

2, 12/12/2017

So basically showing the Max 'FirstDate' for each 'Person' excluding this current month.

I believe jontydkpi‌'s expression should work for you
