  Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

Let ( [ count_of_related_records = Count(thefieldname) ; list_of_values = List( thefieldname ) ] ; GetValue ( list_of_values ; count_of_related_records ) ) Click to copy

If you have the need to obtain the content (of a single filed) from the last record of a related set of records this custom function is for you. This is an excellent custom function for aggregating cumulative data from related records in which the last records information needs to be displayed in another table.
