Data organisation : Grouping data

Suvasini
7 - Meteor

Hi all,

 

I have a dataset which looks like this:

Train NoDistanceOriginDestination
1000109AS
1000131BT
1000262CU
1000107DV
1001463EW
1002468FX
1002308GY
1002374HZ

A particular train travels through multiple routes. I need to first group the data train wise then select the highest distance for than train and show the corresponding origin and destination. I tried doing so using a summarize tool with train (group up) followed by distance (max). How do I get the corresponding origin and destination for this set? 

 

In this example, output should look like this:

 

Train NoDistanceOriginDestination
1000262CU
1001463EW
1002468F

Would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hi @Suvasini,

 

You need to sort the data and then use the sample tool:

The output:
