This example illustrates how you can apply conditionals to calculate minimum, maximum, and most common date values.

Functions:

ItemDescription
KTHLARGESTDATE Function Extracts the ranked Datetime value from the values in a column, where k=1 returns the maximum value. The value for k must be between 1 and 1000, inclusive. Inputs must be valid Datetime values.
KTHLARGESTUNIQUEDATE Function Extracts the ranked unique Datetime value from the values in a column, where k=1 returns the maximum value. The value for k must be between 1 and 1000, inclusive. Inputs must be Datetime.
KTHLARGESTDATEIF Function Extracts the ranked Datetime value from the values in a column, where k=1 returns the maximum value, when a specified condition is met. The value for k must be between 1 and 1000, inclusive. Inputs must be Datetime.
KTHLARGESTUNIQUEDATEIF Function Extracts the ranked unique Datetime value from the values in a column, where k=1 returns the maximum value, when a specified condition is met. The value for k must be between 1 and 1000, inclusive. Inputs must be Datetime.

Transformation:

The following transformation computes the third highest date in the Date column:

Transformation Name New formula
Parameter: Formula type Single row formula
Parameter: Formula kthlargestdate(Date, 3)
Parameter: New column name 'kthlargestdate'

This transformation computes the third highest unique value in the Date column:

Transformation Name New formula
Parameter: Formula type Single row formula
Parameter: Formula kthlargestuniquedate(Date, 3)
Parameter: New column name 'kthlargestuniquedate'

Following transformation calculates the 3rd highest date value when the OrderValue > 200:

Transformation Name New formula
Parameter: Formula type Single row formula
Parameter: Formula kthlargestdateif(Date, 3, OrderValue > 200)
Parameter: New column name 'kthlargestdateif'

Following transformation calculates the 3rd highest unique date value when the OrderValue > 200:

Transformation Name New formula
Parameter: Formula type Single row formula
Parameter: Formula kthlargestuniquedateif(Date, 3, OrderValue > 200)
Parameter: New column name 'kthlargestuniquedateif'
