FirstSortedValue() - "Error in Calculated Dimension"

Hello! 

 

I am trying to use the FirstSortedValue() function to return a Stage of a SKU based on rankings of the Stage. The following is what I have tried for my calculated dimension:

(1) FirstSortedValue([Stage],[Stage Ranking])  ------> Error in Calculated Dimension


(2)  FirstSortedValue(AGGR([Stage],[SKU]),[Stage Ranking])  ------> Error in Calculated Dimension

Also to note: I have confirmed the the field [Stage Ranking] is in NUM format.

Any feedback on what I may be doing wrong? Thank you!

Not sure they will really help, but worth a read.

It sounds like you want to do this calc over SKU, so I believe a calculated dim would be:

Aggr(FirstSortedValue([Stage],[Stage Ranking]), SKU)
