Excel array functionality in Qlik Sense

Trying to replicate the excel functionality of an array function of: =MIN(IF($AJ$4:$AJ$50002=AJ2,$AK$4:$AK$50002)) in Qlik Sense.  AJ is a variable, e.g., order number and I'm seeking to find the minimum chronological transaction number in AK.  Basically want to return the first (min) transaction number in each record of a given order number.  Help!

Have Order number as dimension and Min(TransactionNumber) as  expression. It will give you the desired results.

If you want to do in script. try the below logic

Order:

Load

     OrderNo,

     TransactionNo

From ....

Left Join(Order)

Load OrderNo,

     Min(TransactionNo) as FirstTransaction

Resident Order;

Hope this helps

Thanks for the response.  After digging in I may have a complicating factor that is causing the below to bomb out with the subsequent Qlik Sense error.  My order number ends up having to be the combination of two precursors, Order!&OrderB making up a created OrderNo.

Order:

LOAD

    OrderA&OrderB as OrderNo,

    TransactionNo

FROM [lib://data/activity.qvd]

(qvd);

Left Join(Order)

Load

   OrderNo

   Min (TransactionNo)as FirstTransaction

  Resident Order;

The following error occurred:

Invalid expression

The error occurred here:

Left Join(Order) Load OrderNo, Min (TransactionNo)as FirstTransaction Resident Order

That seems to work.  Thanks!
