Try

=FirstSortedValue(DISTINCT Function,ServiceTimeSeries.Date)

Seems to work for me

Your sort weight is Date, but there are several functions with the same highest date.

You want the function the sorts first by text A-Z?

Yes , Function sort by Date, and if multiple values sort by A-Z

It took some time to sort out how your chart works (and that you are using alternate states in your sheet).

You are using QV12, right?

Then maybe you can use the new sortable aggr() function.

The sortable Aggr function is finally here!

See attached.

I am actually using Qlikview 11.2 , the expression in the text box shows an error , sorry I should have told you that I have alternate states for the Tab.. but just out of curiosity can I know how it matters ?

[swuehl]

Your text box was originally set to inherited state, and your sheet was not set to the same state as the table chart. The default state shows a lot more and different selections than visible in your sheet, hence filtering your table in a different way than the records available to  the firstsortedvalue() function.

With QV12, it now works for me.

I know that the sorted aggr() doesn't work in 11.2, but my time is up, I am out of the game.

It will give the first value of the expression based on sorted weight ,sorted weight should be numeric...

How do I sort by alphabetically considering date as sort weight ?
