I have these fields: Product_Name, SKU, Volume. Each product might have several SKUs. I want to pick only one SKU out of several in chart/table. In other words, I want to recreate SQL statement "select Product_Name, min(SKU), sum(volume) from table group by Product_Name"
When I go to "Dimensions" and add SKU, click on Edit and put formula =min(SKU) or minstring(SKU), I have error in the field "// error in calculated dimension".
Please advise.
hi benkes1,
min() is an aggragation function and as such it needs a dimesnion(groupg by) to iterate over.
if what you want is a new dimesnion where you have a list of values that are the min:SKU for each product then you will need to use the aggr() function in the dimensionTab. somthing like this:
aggr(min(SKU) , Product_Name)
in the expressionTab add this expression:
sum(volume)
you will get a table with 2 columns
one will list all the lowest SKU of each product and the other will list the sum of volume for each.
but this way you will not have the product in the table,
and if you add the product as dimension then it might not be neccesery to use the aggr() function at all.
something like this:
create a new chart
in the dimensionTab add "Product_Name" as dimension
in the expressionTab add these 2 expressions:
min(SKY)
sum(volume)
this is the same as your SQL quary
hope i helped
