How to get the second max value of a string? I am able to get the maximum value of selected values through this function:

maxstring(total <Field>)

Hi @SudharshanK 

I guess you could try 

maxstring({< field=-{“$(=maxstring(total field))”} >}field)

 

hope this helps.

hi @SudharshanK 

I put the '-' sign in the wrong place

should be:

maxstring({< field-={"$(=maxstring(total field))"} >}field)

for example, if i dont have any selection

and on selection

The end users did not want the metrics for the previous months so I did not have to do this calculation after all. Thanks for helping me out.

Well, that happens many times

If the proposed solution solves the original problem, it would be nice if you accept it as a solution.

Best,
