Excluding field from Aggregation but keeping other fields value as is for aggregation result

Dear Qlik Developers,

I was wondering if is it possible and how, to exclude fields from aggregation in the backend, but to keep their value based on the aggregation result without creating an additional key? The example:

LOAD

ID, 

min(Creation_date) as Creation_date,

Actual_Date, //I want to keep this value for a minimal Creation date

User // I want to keep this value for a minimal Creation date

FROM abc.qvd

Group by ID;

ID Creation date Actual Date User
123 05/04/2023 10:00 04/04/2023 10:00 RPA
123 06/04/2023 10:00 11/04/2023 10:00 JOHN

 

The result should be:

ID Event Creation date Actual Date User
123 13 05/04/2023 10:00 04/04/2023 10:00 RPA

 

If I group by all other fields/dimensions I will get the same table as starting one, of course.

Thanks in advance!
