First and Last Issue

When I am trying to show data in a Decomposition Tree, it is only giving me the option to show "First or "Last".  I just want it to show the actual value.  How do I make that happen?

Hi @marotta44 ,

If you are putting the field Actual Start under the Tooltips option, you can only use it by selecting the aggregation function in conjunction with it. If the data type of field is Text or Date type, the corresponding aggregation function as Figure 1.  If the data type of field is numeric, the corresponding aggregation function as Figure 2. Please refer to this official documentation for more details.

Hi Mark, I should have clarified. It works correctly Explained By section. But it will only give me first and last in the Tooltip section. Does that make sense?  I apologize I didn't explain that properly initially. The same thing happens with some of my dates where it only shows earliest and latest. 

Hi @marotta44 

Can you share a screenshot ?
