Return highest qty on a single day by item

I have a set of data that has, amongst others, the following fields;

  • Date of Booking (Parent Record)
  • Item (Sublist)
  • Qty on Booking (Sublist)

I want a search that is going to return the date that each item was booked the most, and how many items were booked on that day. I will even settle for the highest daily booking per item

If I create a search that is

  • Date GROUPED
  • Item GROUPED
  • Qty on Booking SUMMED

I get all the dates and the total of the item ordered on that day. A good start.

But if I change the search to be

  • Item GROUPED
  • Qty on Booking MAXIMUM WHEN ORDERED BY FIELD Date

Then I get the highest Qty on a Booking Line for the day, not the day with the highest Total Booked for the the daySum

In other words, if the day with the highest bookings for Widget A was 01/01/22 and the total Booking where 8 made up of

  • Booking 1 for 3
  • Booking 2 for 5

I would expect the results set to return

01/01/22 – Widget A – 8

But instead I am getting

01/01/22 – Widget A – 5 Because 5 was the highest line qty for the day.

So please help me figure out how to return a dataset that will be

This is the date that this item was booked the most and this is how many were booked.

Thank you
