1. How can we identify the first value of an attribute ?
2. How do we identify the first value of an attribute based on grouping ?

    Hi @swamysantoshkumar,

    To identify the first value of an attribute, you can use the Filter Example Range operator and set
    first example = 1
    last example = 1

    For you questions 2. and 3. I have difficulties to understand : 
    Can you provide : 
     -  an example of what you have and 
     - an example of what you want to obtain

    Regards,

    Thanks for the response @Lionelderkrikor 

    Below is the example in which I would need attributes 3 & 4 to be created from Attributes 1 & 2

    1. How do we identify the first value of an attribute and assign it as new attribute for all examples
    2. How do we identify the first value of an attribute specific to a group of examples 
    3. How do we create the new attribute by assigning the first value identified in step 2

    I would like to generate Attribute 3 and 4 as depicted in the below table

    Ex:
    Attribute 1    Attribute 2   Attribute 3    Attribute 4
    A                     10                10                10
    A                      20               10                10
    A                      25               10                10
    A                      40               10                10
    B                      30               10                30
    B                      40               10                30
    C                      50               10                50
    C                      60               10                50
