Hello again,

I apologize. For some reason, I didn't get an e-mail notification of your e-mail from 3 days ago and just now got a notification of your most recent e-mail.

There are a few points that are still unclear to me, but I think I have enough to go on.

The XPath formula to get at the corresponding field value for the group with the maximum date is:

/my:myFields/my:Table1[my:T1_accounting_year_closed = /my:myFields/my:maxDate]/fieldToRetrieve

So to get the value of the ETR_per_return field in the row with the max date, you could use:

/my:myFields/my:Table1[my:T1_accounting_year_closed = /my:myFields/my:maxDate]/my:ETR_per_return

and you can use this in a rule or Expression Box control.

And just as a tip, you don't have to have a control bound to a hidden field in order for it to work. As long as the field is present in your data source, it will do its job. So you can delete that 1px textbox for your hidden_field field.

Is the above information enough to solve your problem?

Hi Jimmy,

I've updated my html file (made it more detailed). Hopefully everything is clear now, otherwise I can always send you the original document?

Thank you verry much in advance,

Hello Niels,

Thank you for providing that information in such a neatly laid-out fashion, but I need a little more information to answer your question.

Could you provide a screenshot of your datasource that includes:

The root node of the data source (the node at the very top)

The field where you're storing the latest date

The repeating group included in your current screenshot

I'm not clear which fields in your repeating group correspond to the information you want to show in Table 1: Report per books..., You have lines that say "Report per books after income taxes" and "Income taxes", but I don't see fields with names like this in the Table_1 group. Are they there and I'm not noticing them, or are they calculated from several fields?

Could you attach a screenshot of your data source's layout?

Getting data of repeating table under a condition

Dear all,

I'm new to infopath and made myself a repeating table where people can fill in the following:

Date Event Price

With the help of this formule (Latest date) I was able to find the latest date (most recent) inside the repeating table.

What I would like to do next, is to create new text-field where the 'Event' will be displayed, which is related to the latest date.

----------

Example

Latest date: 25-02-2011

Date             Event           Price
14-02-2011    Event 123     25 EUR
18-02-2011    Event 456     30 EUR
25-02-2011    Event 789     35 EUR

[The field I would like to have:] Event: Event789

----------

More in detail that he would repeat a value (in the repeating table) which is on the same row as the lastest date.

Is this possible without programming? As I would like to sent these forms out via e-mail.

Thank you all in advance!

Regards,

Niels
