Return a value based on field's value from a different alternate state

Hi All,

appreciate your assistance

Current State:

I have a table of transactions per supplier per quarter, as described below:

QuarterTransaction DateSupplier CodeItem NumberCost ($)Last Transaction of the Quarter
Q1'1824/07/18Supplier 1AAAA$10,235.170
Q1'1826/07/18Supplier 2AAAA$8,920.001
Q2'1824/10/18Supplier 2AAAA$8,920.000
Q2'1825/10/18Supplier 1AAAA$9,911.811

 

The green lines are the last transactions per quarter (with no reference to supplier).

I use two alternate states to show the last transactions per quarter, so when the user choose Q1'18 in [alternate state 1]

 and Q2'18 in [alternate state 2] he will get the two green lines as a result.

Challenge:

Knowing that the last transaction for Q2'18 in [alternate state 2]  is from Supplier 1, I wish to find the last transaction for Supplier 1 for Q1'18 in [alternate state 1].

meaning, in the example the result will be the transaction marked in blue.

QuarterTransaction DateSupplier CodeItem NumberCost ($)Last Transaction of the Quarter
Q1'1824/07/18Supplier 1AAAA$10,235.170
Q1'1826/07/18Supplier 2AAAA$8,920.001
Q2'1824/10/18Supplier 2AAAA$8,920.000
Q2'1825/10/18Supplier 1AAAA$9,911.811

 

End Result:

The marked green calculation are available in my solution what I'm missing is the calculation described above marked in red

When I choose a specific item it works, but when no item is selected it seems that its not calculated properly

Item NumberAlternate State 1 Transaction CostAlternate State 2 Transaction CostAlternate State 2 Supplier Code in Alternate State 1 Quarter
AAAA$8,920.00$9,911.81$10,235.17
BBBB$7,920.00$9,911.81$8,235.17

 

Hope to find a helper : )

Thanks

Amir

Try this expression

=Sum({<Quarter = Alt1:: Quarter, Meh = {0}>} Aggr(
If(Supplier = Only(TOTAL <Product> Aggr(If(Date = Max(TOTAL <Product> {<Quarter = Alt2::Quarter>} Date), Supplier), Product, Date))
, Sum(Amount))
, Product, Supplier, Date))
