Find Record with Highest Value in Formula Column

Hello!

I am trying to automate posting a random record to twitter.

I have an automation set up already that whenever i check a box on the record it will send out the tweet - this is working fine. I want to automate that step though so i made a column with “random” values.

Now I want to set an automation that each day, it finds a record with the highest value from that “random” value column and updated the record to check the box that will then trigger the twitter automation.

How can I set up an automation to find the highest value and then update that record by checking the box?

Thanks!

it’s a bit wonky, as AT doesn’t work like a regular spreadsheet, but the TLDR version is that by creating a linked record on all the tweet fields, you can use a MAX rollup to identify where MAX=Your Random Column and then automate tweeting it out.

Hi @Kevyn_Levine and welcome to the community!

My first tought:

create an new table and use a linked field to link 1 record to all records in the orginal table (use the fill handle in the new field in the original table)

add a rollup field in that new table and use MAX(values) as a formula

set up an automation that triggers each day; looks for the record in your original table that has the same number as the 1 record in your new table; let it Tweet; let it update that record to 0 so the MAX(value) in the new table changes
