DataTable calculated field question
I have a datatable that has a grouping in it and I want to be able to assign a value to a calculated field based on the first (or matching) fields in the group.
For example, if I have the following table:
MyGroup MyDateVar
gr-1 2001-12-23
gr-1 2004-03-12
gr-1 2014-10-04
gr-1 2003-12-23
gr-1 2012-03-12
gr-1 2000-10-04
I would like to have a calculated column that would have a value (say 10) for the oldest MyDateVar for the group. The final result would be:
MyGroup MyDateVar CalcField
gr-1 2001-12-23 0
gr-1 2004-03-12 0
gr-1 2014-10-04 10
gr-1 2003-12-23 0
gr-1 2012-03-12 10
gr-1 2000-10-04 0
Can this be done with a datacolumn calculated field?
