max value of subfields

socura — Wed, 19 Jun 2019 14:22:18 GMT

Hi,

I would like to get the max value of all subfieds of a concat field like

concatfield: 10, 50, 700, 100, 300

concatmax: 700

Is it possible?

Thanks

Mario

Try having a look at the following link, hopefully this will help you sort things out:

It's not possible within the UI unless you would try to apply various string-functions within multiple nested if-loops. Even with just those few values from your example it would need quite a lot of efforts.

Much better would be to split these concat-string within the load per subfield() maybe within an extra table which just contains the concat-string as KEY and the splitted values from them. Then just a max(SplittedValues) would be enough.

If you're trying to do this in front end, you can use =RangeMax($(=concatfield)) in a text object (for example) to find the max. Even if that's the case, however, I suggest you follow @marcus_sommer 's advice and do it in back end instead.
