Have you tried repeating your calculated dimension definition in your expression?

Like this, having a calculated dimension

=Month(Date)

and check the dimension value in your expression like

=sum(if (Month(Date) < 7, Sales, Budget))

Hi,

You can create a variable and pass the value of calculated dimension in that variable. In this way, you can call this variable in your calculated dimension and in your expression.

Example:

1. Create a variable vName and place your calculated dimension.

$(vName) = Aggr(only(Name),Names)

2. Create a calculated dimension and place your variable inside

=$(vName)

3. Create an expression and call the created variable

sum({<Name = {$(vName) }>} sales)

Instead of a calculated dimension, try two expressions:

=max([Transaction Number])

= FirstSortedValue(Amount, -[Transaction Number] )

assuming that your Transaction Number is a pure number, not a string.

Sorry, I don't really understand your sample output.

As I understood you want to show per ItemNumber one line with the highest Transaction number and its corresponding date and stock?

In your example, I see two lines for ItemNumber 110111081501110, and I don't see the highest transaction number, which as far as I've taken from your sample data, is 3675275.

Are you looking at a specific warehouse?
