BMC - top N ranks on dates BMC smart reporting

Is there a way to do a top N ranks on date fields / columns using Smart Reporting?

I have a requirement where for each unique ID (identified from a different form) there are multiple rows / records in the system which has the submit date of the record. From these rows, for EACH unique ID I want to only identify the submit date of the second record.

I know there is the functionality of Top N Ranks in Smart Reporting, but have not found a way to use this with dates.

Hi Brijesh,

I would suggest creating a calculated field that subtracts a date in the past from each date in your report. This would result in a "days since" integer metric, which you could then apply a Top N to as normal.

Let me know if this will work in this case.

Nathan

Hi Nathan,

I have tried this before, and to double check, have tried it now again, but the top N ranks is not filtering this column with relevance to the unique ID relationship I have. It is instead just giving me the top N ranks of all date differences.

Kind Regards,
