load all fields for minimum value

Hi All,

I'm stuck with trying to load only one record per ID from my table. I want to load the whole row, but only for the minimum TaskID, per ProjectNumber.

Task IDDueDateCompletedDateProjectNumberCreated DateTaskCreatedBy

As you can see, all rows are unique with different dates but I only want to load the first task for every ProjectNumber.

I am currently creating a temp table, and then loading the minimum TaskID associated with each ProjectNumber, joining it back to the temp table and performing a resident load to get the subsequent tables. but this is not working for me.

Load

TASK_temp

   TaskID

      ,[DueDate]

      ,[CompletedDate]

      ,[ProjectNumber]

      ,[Created Date]

      ,[TaskCreatedBy]

From

TASK_TABLE

Task_MIN

inner join(TASK_temp)

LOAD

    min(TaskID) as Task_ID,

        [ProjectNumber]

  

Resident TASK_temp

group by ProjectNumber;

TASK

LOAD

   TaskID

      ,[DueDate]

      ,[CompletedDate]

      ,[ProjectNumber]

      ,[Created Date]

      ,[TaskCreatedBy]

Resident TASK_temp;

Drop table TASK_temp;

Am I doing something wrong here?

Does anyone know how to load all columns, but only for the minimum TaskID?

Hi Shane. Maybe a little bit syntax


TASK: NoConcatenate

Load

       TaskID

      ,[DueDate]

      ,[CompletedDate]

      ,[ProjectNumber]

      ,[Created Date]

      ,[TaskCreatedBy]

From TASK_TABLE;

Inner join LOAD

    min(TaskID) as Task_ID,

    [ProjectNumber]

Resident TASK

group by ProjectNumber;

Or maybe like that:

TEMP:

LOAD * INLINE [

   TaskID, DueDate, CompletedDate, ProjectNumber, Created Date, TaskCreatedBy

    1, 2018-11-07 11:30:00, 2018-11-10 11:30:00, 1, 2018-11-10 10:30:00, 345

    2, 2018-11-07 12:30:00, 2018-11-10 12:30:00, 1, 2018-11-10 11:30:00, 456

    3, 2018-11-07 12:00:00, 2018-11-10 12:00:00, 1, 2018-11-10 11:00:00, 789

];

noconcatenate

Load * Resident TEMP where if(ProjectNumber=Previous(ProjectNumber),TaskID)<>TaskID; DROP Table TEMP;
