I have a dataset being returned that has monthly values for different 'Goals.' The goals has unique ID's and the month/date values will always be the same for the goals. The difference is sometimes one goal doesn't have values for all the same months as the other goal because it might start at a later date, and i want to 'consolidate' the results and sum them together based on the 'First' startBalance for each goal. Example dataset would be;
goalID monthDate startBalance
1 1/1/2014 10
1 2/1/2014 15
1 3/1/2014 22
1 4/1/2014 30
2 4/1/2014 13
2 5/1/2014 29
What i want to do is display these consolidated (summed) values in a table based on the 'First' (earliest Month/Year) value for each goal. The result would look like;
Year startBalance
2014 23
This is because the 'First' value for goalID of 1 is 10 and the 'First' value for goalID of 2 is '13' but when I try to group by the
Year(Fields!MonthDate.Value)
and use the expression;
Sum(First(Fields!startBalance.Value))
I receive the error;
The Value expression for the textrun ‘StartingValue3.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ uses a First, Last or Previous aggregate in an outer aggregate. These aggregate functions cannot be specified as nested aggregates.
Does anyone know if my grouping is incorrect, or if there's a different way i can get the 'First' value for the goalIDs summed together correctly?
