Subtracting from FirstSortedValue

Fri, 15 Aug 2014 14:21:49 GMT

Hi,

Thanks to the forum I been given the following expression to use on text_object:

=if(status = 16, FirstSortedValue(updatetxt_test, -udindex_test), FirstSortedValue(updatetxt_test, -udindex_test))

status 16 = Close Calls

status 15 = Resolved Calls

updatetxt_test = Call Text

udindex_test - Unique value of call text

Example Data:

Callref udindex updatetxt status

221312 0 User requires New Account 16

221312 1 User account created 16

221312 2 Closed by System Administrator 16

221313 0 User requires Office Install 15

221313 1 Office 2010 installed on machine 15

The issue I have is that when a call is closed the last call text always shows as 'Closed by System Administrator' where as when the call is Resolved the last call text shows the resolution text.

Is it possible to amend the above expression so that when the status = 16 the max udindex is taken away by 1, therefore as in the example above callref 221312 will show udindex field 1 instead of udindex field 2?

Regards,

Jon Ditchfield

=if(status = 16, FirstSortedValue(updatetxt_test, -udindex_test),

FirstSortedValue(updatetxt_test, -udindex_test)

)

It looks like your true and false parts of the if statement are exactly the same. Is this working as expected?

Anyway, -1 would do it I guess :

=if(status = 16, FirstSortedValue(updatetxt_test, -udindex_test) - 1,

FirstSortedValue(updatetxt_test, -udindex_test)

)

Hi Jon, In the FirstsortedValue there is one optional parameter Sort Weight.

Try Like below:

if(status = 16, FirstSortedValue(updatetxt_test, -udindex_test,2), FirstSortedValue(updatetxt_test, -udindex_test))
