compare value with max(value) in set analysis

I cannot understand why I don't get a result with this expression.

Is it not possible to compare a fieldvalue with the max of the same field ?

=Count(distinct {$<
dateNUMtot = {
"$(=Aggr(Max(dateNuMtot),employeenum))"}
>}employeenum)

Create one  Variable for the expression

vMaxdate = max(datefield)

then create set analysis

=Count(distinct {<datefield={$(vMaxdate)}>}employeenum)

 

Thanks,

hi 

what do you want to achieve with this expression 

this doesn't works because your function in the set analysis returns 

=Aggr(Max(dateNuMtot),employeenum))

a series of number one for each employee , 

in what visualization you want to use this expression

I have several records for each employee. So I want to find the record with the highest dateNUMtot for each employee.

And use the value of that record as a dimension-value

 I believe that when I first create a variable,  it gets the value of the highest dateNUMtot of all employees

Do you have dateNUMtot as a dimension in the chart?

Sorr for my late reaction, but dateNumtot is not a dimension.

 

I tried another expression:

in my script I added a field containing the highest date

But count({<enddate = {"$(=highest_enddate)"} >}employee) does not give correct results too.

neither does count({<enddate = {"enddate=highest_enddate"} >}employee) 

It does when I select one employee, but when I do not select an employee there are no results

 

When comparing both fields with an if statement they are counted as equal

What exactly is your chart dimension?

My dimension is another field. In this situation first year of employment.

Would you be able to share a sample or sample data with the expected output?
