Getting top x number of days per Unique ID

Hi everyone. Would like to ask for suggestions on how to get output where in per Unique Record ID, I will grab just the top x dates. I already created a workflow where I sorted everything and got Tile ID. SO it will only display the number of rows based on days declared. Hope I explained it right. Appreciate your help.

x=Days (in table)

Hey @cfvito, is this what you're after? The following:

 

  • Creates a true date column
  • Orders the dates from latest (most recent) backwards - I assumed this is what you meant from 'top dates'
  • Assigns a rank to all dates within each Unique ID, to be compared against x
  • Removes all ranks beyond the x (# of days)
  • Tidies the output back up to your original schema

I am a little confused by the question. Are you asking to get the max number of days per each record ID? that is answered already. BUT I read that as you were looking to find the most recent x dates per Record ID. To do this, I used the sort tool to sort by date then used the sample tool to take the First N Rows and Group by Record ID.

I need to get the top number of dates based on the Days field. Thank you. I was able to get my desired output. Thank you everyone for your help.
