712 InfoMaker

For graphs and OLE objects, you do not select the range when you call the

function. The range has already been determined by the Rows setting on the

Data property page (the Range property), and the aggregation function uses

that range. Settings for Rows include:

• For the Graph presentation style, Rows is always All.

• For Graph controls, Rows can be All, Page, or Group.

• For OLE controls, Rows can be All, Current Row, Page, or Group. The

available choices depend on the layer the control occupies.

Null values are ignored and are not considered in determining the minimum.

Not in validation rules or filter expressions

You cannot use this or other aggregate functions in validation rules or filter

expressions.

Using an aggregate function cancels the effect of setting Retrieve Rows As

Needed in the painter. To do the aggregation, a report always retrieves all rows.

Examples This expression returns the minimum value in the column named age in group

Min(age for group 2)

This expression returns the minimum of the values in column 3 on the page:

Min(#3 for page)

Assuming a report displays the order number, amount, and line items for each

order, this computed field returns the minimum of the order amount for the

distinct order numbers:

Min(order_amt for all DISTINCT order_nbr)
