Returning a string value based on a subtotal of values

Hi all,

I have what I hope to be a simple question.

Say I have a data table;

 

MEMBER_ID CLAIM_ID DIAGNOSIS COST
1 154 Diabetes 100
1 762 Infection 150
1 612 Diabetes 120
2 999 Flu 50
2 211 Cataracts 150
2 333 Diabetes 50

 


-and I wish to get the resulting table;

 

MEMBER_ID TOP_COSTING_DIAGNOSIS TOTAL_COST_OVERALL
1 Diabetes 370
2 Cataracts 250

I'm having trouble getting the second column to return the highest costing diagnosis.

In this example, member 1 is showing diabetes because this member has two claims that total to 220 (100+120), which is higher than this member's other claim for infection (170).

I tried posting something a similar question a day ago that I believe just had too much going on.
I hope this is clearer on what I'm trying to ask for.

Hello,

Just add in your table :

MEMBER_ID (Dimension)
DIAGNOSIS (Dimension)
SUM(COST) (Measure) 

And sort it by measure SUM(COST) desc .

Best Regards,
