Dimension Limits

Hi,

I want to limit the data shown in my straight table based on largest 5 values(expression is no. of days)

I have to show it in descending order, +ve days, then the -ve days(amount going highest to lowest).

So, after setting the dimension limit to largest 5, my table should have shown the data till the yellow line.

However, it's instead showing me something like this, basically ignoring the minus(-) sign.

How can I get it to work the way I want? Please help.

Note: The value for Days is calculated in the script .

Interval(Date#(Today(),'MM/DD/YYYY')-Date#([Field9_Pmnt date],'MM/DD/YYYY'),'DD') as Days

The purpose is basically to limit the rows on the basis of 'Days'. Since you cannot limit the rows based on a dimension, I had to add the 'Days' as an expression.

How about using first 5, instead of largest 5?

Hi Sunny,

I have attached a sample file. The chart is limited to largest 5 values. You can see how's it's ignoring the negative sign and showing the negative values as the largest.

Here is another option, filtering your dimension using set analysis in the dimension or all expression aggregations.

Should still work when sorting the columns.
