Tableau: Return entire row based on Min or Max value of specific column


I'm teaching myself Tableau and occasionally run into challenges. I have a dataset like the one below and I'm trying to create two calculated fields to display either the row that has the minimum value for the sum of the columns or the maximum value for the sum of the columns.

Parcel  Period 1 Period 2
A       500      300
B       250      200
C       750      500
D       -375     -500   
E       2000     1000
F       0        200
G       -750     -100

So the MIN should show:

Parcel     Total
D          -875

and the MAX should show:

Parcel    Total
E         3000

I can get the minimum and the maximum, but I haven't been able to figure out how to show the other column(s) that correspond to the Min or Max Total.

Any guidance is much appreciated.


Solution

  • You can add a filter, then drag period 1 into filters set it to be maximum amount, or use your calculated column if you only want the single max.
