Get the minimum date column in a table/collection

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi, 

 

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this issue?

I've been trying to get the minimum date from a collection with a Min() but still retain the date formatting as well.

 

Min(merged, start_date), where the start date is the column of interest

Merged Table

StartDate

6/1/2019
8/1/2019

 

I would like to get back 6/1/2019 in the date format if possible, using a text label for illustrative purposes

Thanks!

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    You might need to sort your collection first.

    SortByColumns(merged,"start_date",Descending)

     

    on the Text label:

     

    Last(merged).start_date


    Thanks,
