I have the following formula in my report:
 
NthMostFrequent (1,{vTASKS_BROWSE.WOTYPE3}, {vTASKS_BROWSE.TYPE} )
 
WOTYPE3 is the category of a ticket on our Service Desk
TYPE is group "Incident" or "Service Request"
 
When I browse the data, I correctly see two values, the highest category for Incidents and the higest for Requests.
 
I really want to be able to work with each result in turn. Can I specify in the formula, just give me the highest value for this group? Something along the lines of below (which does not work!!)
 
NthMostFrequent (2,{vTASKS_BROWSE.WOTYPE3}, {vTASKS_BROWSE.TYPE = "Incident"} )
 
Thanks for any pointers
 
Andy

if you place your formula field in the group header or footer then it will return the value you want in each of the groups. You can conditionally suppress the one you do not want to appear.

you can use a running total to get the value you want using an evaluation formula but this can only be used in footers.
 
You can create a formula field to 'remove' (null) the all rows that are not incident rows and do the NthMostFrequent on that formula field.
