Max function needed in LOAD SCRIPT

[#1]

I have sequentially numbered days. I'd like to assign the LATEST DAY number for which there is sales data to a variable for ease of use in expression writing instead of using max(if(len(saleperson>0),daynumber))

Is this possible? Thank you in advance!

With the PEEK-command you can retrieve a certain record out of a table. If your table is already sorted (either descending or ascending), you may straight use

LET v = PEEK('YourDateNumber', 0, 'YourTableName'); // First record
LET LET v = PEEK('YourDateNumber', -1, 'YourTableName'); // Last record

If the dates in your table are not sorted you need to extract into a temporary table:

temp: LOAD MAX(YourDateNumber) AS LastDate RESIDENT YourTableName;
LET v = PEEK('YourDateNumber', 0, 'YourTableName');
DROP TABLE temp:

Please note the apostrophs in the PEEK-command.

5, 50, b
];

load
 salesperson,
 max(if(len(salesperson>0),Val)) as MaxVal
Resident TT
Group by salesperson;
