Hi, I keep getting errors with this query, anything wrong? Error: "an attribute cannot be requested when an aggregate operation has been specified and its groupby nor aggregate. NodeXML: <attribute name ="customerid"/>"

<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false" top="3" aggregate="true" >
  <entity name="incident" >
    <attribute name="customerid" />
    <attribute name="new_resolutiondate" aggregate="max" />
    <attribute name="title" />
    <attribute name="incidentid" />
    <filter type="and" >
      <condition attribute="statecode" operator="eq" value="1" />
    </filter>
    <link-entity name="account" from="accountid" to="customerid" visible="false" link-type="outer" alias="a_4b5945b8a4a64613afc1ae1d5e6828c7" >
      <attribute name="primarycontactid" />
      <attribute name="new_registrationid" />
      <attribute name="address1_postalcode" />
    </link-entity>
  </entity>
</fetch>

    Use FetchXML tester of XRMTollBox to test any query.

    Hi,

    Not sure what you mean by "group", but assuming you want the max resolution date for each customer, you need to remove the other columns from the case entity which shouldn't be in the group by at all which are the incidentid (which will mess up any aggregate query since its always unique) and the title.

    <fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false" top="3" aggregate="true" >
  <entity name="incident" >
    <attribute name="customerid" groupby="true" alias="customerid" />
    <attribute name="new_resolutiondate" aggregate="max"  alias="new_resolutiondate"/>
    <filter type="and" >
      <condition attribute="statecode" operator="eq" value="1" />
    </filter>
    <link-entity name="account" from="accountid" to="customerid" visible="false" link-type="outer" alias="a_4b5945b8a4a64613afc1ae1d5e6828c7" >
      <attribute name="primarycontactid" groupby="true" alias="primarycontactid" />
      <attribute name="new_registrationid" groupby="true" alias="new_registrationid"/> 
      <attribute name="address1_postalcode" groupby="true" alias="address1_postalcode"/> 
</link-entity> 
</entity> 
</fetch>

    If you also want to get details of the specific case that had the max(resolution date) you need to run a different query, or get all the data and do the aggregation yourself in LINQ.

    Good luck.

    Yes, for each group

    Do you want to get only one record which has the latest new_resolutiondate?

    It worked. But it didn't look like what I need. Is that possible to get the max  "new_resolutiondate" field which I have used aggregate max for each group?

    I believe you have to groupby your attributes that you are not aggregating.

    I have edited some of your code below:

    <fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false" top="3" aggregate="true" >
  <entity name="incident" >
    <attribute name="customerid" groupby="true" alias="customerid" />
    <attribute name="new_resolutiondate" aggregate="max"  alias="new_resolutiondate"/>
    <attribute name="title" groupby="true" alias="title"  />
    <attribute name="incidentid" groupby="true" alias="incidentid" />
    <filter type="and" >
      <condition attribute="statecode" operator="eq" value="1" />
    </filter>
    <link-entity name="account" from="accountid" to="customerid" visible="false" link-type="outer" alias="a_4b5945b8a4a64613afc1ae1d5e6828c7" >
      <attribute name="primarycontactid" groupby="true" alias="primarycontactid" />
      <attribute name="new_registrationid" groupby="true" alias="new_registrationid"/> 
      <attribute name="address1_postalcode" groupby="true" alias="address1_postalcode"/> 
</link-entity> 
</entity> 
</fetch>

    I think it doesn't like 'customerid' because it's a field that could be an account or a contact?  Maybe use accountid on the incident, which should have the linked accountid if the case is linked to an account and NOT a contact.

    Hi, I removed "top=3", and order by "new_resolutiondate ". still the same error, I have to use aggregate since I want to find the max  new_resolutiondate

    Hi

    What happens when you try as below:

    Put Order by new_resolutiondate (descending) and remove aggregate, as you have Top="3".
