returning the latest (max) value into a crosstab 1

[n2nuk]

Hi there,

I have a table that records a clients support level, this can change during the course of their treatment between medium low or High

attached is a sample of data

client_id_______priority_level_________priority_startdate________priorty_enddate
1234__________medium_____________01/02/2017____________23/04/2017
1234__________low_________________23/04/2017___________18/08/2017
1234__________medium_____________21/08/2017____________

or

client_id_______priority_level_________priority_startdate_______priorty_enddate
4321__________high_______________18/11/2017____________13/02/2018
4321__________medium____________14/02/2018____________16/08/2018
4321__________low________________16/08/2018____________21/10/2018


What I'd like to do is produce a summary report that shows the number of clients by priority level, any ideas how i can do this?

I would think you would just need three running totals that each would evaluate on a given priority level.

Thanks for replying,

not sure how i would get that to work?!

For the running total, do a distinctcount of client ID, evaluate based on a formula, e.g., for the “Low” priority:

{table.startdate}=Maximum({table.startdate},{table.clientID}) and
{table.priority}=“Low”

Reset never.

Repeat for each priority level, just changing the priority type. Place the running totals in the report footer. This assumes you have a group on clientID.

I see in the title that you want this in a crosstab. I do not work with crosstabs very much (it has been years since I needed to). So lbass should be able to assist you better than myself.

lbass solution did the trick, many thanks
