Get Largest Field Value from a Table Column

You can display the largest numeric field value from a table column in any label, literal, textbox or dropdown list control using the MAX function.  For example, the maximum among the “Quantity” values displayed on a ShowOrder_DetailsTable page can be displayed for the “Initialize When Displaying” event.

Step 1:  In the Page Layout Spreadsheet, select a table control and navigate to the table rows section.

Step 2:  Drag a literal control from the Toolbox into the newly added column within the ‘Totals’ area.

Step 3:  Select the newly added literal control, and in the Formulas tab, select the ‘Initialize when Displaying’ event.

Step 4:  Enter a formula to display the row total, e.g.:

= Order_DetailsTableControl.MAX("Quantity")

Step 5:  Build and run your application.
