Display only the first record

Question

I have report in BEx where we want to find the first time a customer ordered Quantity of more than 500 in a data range (For Ex: From April 10 to April 30). In a particluar date range the customer may order more than once (Qty > 500). The catch is we want display only one first time he ordered qty > 500.
Customer    Date         Qty > 500.
ABC         4/21/2005        2,035 CA
          4/22/2005        12,290 CA
          4/23/2005        4,826 CA
          4/26/2005        6,397 CA
          4/27/2005        1,538 CA
          4/28/2005        4,849 CA
XYZ         4/25/2005        2,000 CA
          4/26/2005        12,000 CA
          4/27/2005        4,500 CA
          4/28/2005        6,300 CA
In the output report we want to display the first record for each customer as:
Customer    Date         Qty > 500.
ABC         4/21/2005        2,035 CA
XYZ         4/25/2005        2,000 CA
Your help is really appreciated. Thanks.

jayant,
i think, you could use your date as a condition to filter by in your report... try looking that the properties of your KF and, under Calculations, set the 'Calculate Result as...' to the first value only.
hope this helps - don't forget to give out points. =)

ps. i've tried this, and it sort of works - just need a bit more of tweaking around. =)
