<![CDATA[pointValueBefore is not working and it was working so wondering what might be going on?]]>Wondering why this code is producing the same values with data that has unique values. I use.pointValueBefore to get the previous value for comparison and the function seems to have stopped working.

print( KW.pointValueBefore(KW.time).value);
print(KW.value);

Success. result=Success, no new value, timestamp=12:53:54
6620.0
6620

both produce the same result value so what is going on here?

  1. Are you using NoSQL?
  2. What is this script from? Context point in a script?
  3. Where is the script? Meta point, Excel Report...

I did a quick check of our database queries and they are correct. I can't see the data you are referring to in the image as that is only a window for times that are not in your test.

Also its nice to put a code block around code as it makes it easier to read.

Thanks.

So what is going on that I have to do it twice to see the increment. I understood this function would return the value directly before the time passed in?

var KWBF1 = KW.pointValueBefore(KW.time);
var KWBF2= KW.pointValueBefore(KWBF1.time);
print(KWBF1.value);
print(KWBF2.value);
print(KW.pointValueBefore(KW.time).value);
print(KW.value);

Success. result=Success, no new value, timestamp=13:09:36
6622.0
6621.0
6622.0
6622
