The First function searches the data for duplicate rows (based on the columns chosen by the user) and condenses them into a single row of data. The First function will then display the first value within the data that appeared for the duplicate rows. Any values following the first value will be lost during this process.
Example
The small dataset below will be used to show how First operates.
| Column A | Column B | Column C |
|---|
| one | two | 5 |
| one | two | 6 |
| two | two | 7 |
| one | two | 4 |
Applying the First function to Column C reduces the row count from four to two. The value in the column First of Column C shows the first value from Column C of the duplicate rows that were collapsed during the operation.
| Column A | Column B | First of Column C |
|---|
| one | two | 5 |
| two | two | 7 |
