Hi All,

I have a list of users and their value for every day want to compare between latest Value to previous value,

what would be the most efficient way to do it?

days12345678
user no.
110090502003550250100
250030330847410023020

Thank you,

Ilan

Ok, then use the firstsortedvalue:

firstsortedvalue(value, -date)

firstsortedvalue(value, -date,2)

Use the above() or before() function, depending on the layout of your table/chart. Something like sum(Value)/before(sum(Value))-1

Hi Gysbert,

thank you for your reply,

to create a field that will hold the change between today() and today()-1

is it possible to do in in the script?

thank you,

Ilan

Very likely. You will probably have to sort your table first and then you can use the previous() or peek() function to retrieve values from a previous record.

hi again,

the table structure is: user_id, date, value

can you explain how to use peek function to calculate ( latest value / previous value) per user?

appreciate your help

Ilan

If the data is sorted by user_id first and by date second then you can use something like if(previous(user_id)=user_id,peek(value)) as previous_value

Hi,

I did it like this:

LOAD

account_id ,

date,

value,

if (previous(ACCOUNT_ID)=ACCOUNT_ID,Peek('value', -2)) as PreviousValue,

peek('value',-1) as CurrentValue

Resident TempAccountValue

Order by ACCOUNT_ID, date;

---

but I receive more than 2 values per each account, is there a way to load just the 2 last values?


Gysbert_Wassenaar

Ok, if you only want to top 2 values per account try this:

LOAD

     ACCOUNT, Max(value) as LargestValue, Max(value,2) as SecondLargestValue

Resident TempAccountValue

Group By ACCOUNT;

Hi,

I need the Latest Value  and the second Latest.. not the biggest

tried it also like:

LOAD

ACCOUNT_ID,

num(peek('value',-1,'ACCOUNT_ID')) as CurrentValue,

num(peek('value',-2,'ACCOUNT_ID')) as PreviousValue

//Max(value) as LargestValue,

//Max(value,2) as SecondLargestValue

Resident AccountValue

Group By ACCOUNT_ID;

did not work:(

any ideas

Gysbert_Wassenaar

Ok, then use the firstsortedvalue:

firstsortedvalue(value, -date)

firstsortedvalue(value, -date,2)
