Return only the last value from Loop

Hi There, 
I started using rapidminer just today. There's one problem that I'm facing and I can't find the solution anywhere. 
Objective: So I want to do clustering for n max iterations, for each n I want to see the centroid value, after this, I want to only work with the example set that the clustering algorithm returned in the last run. 

I have done half of it, i.e, I have used Loop Parameter to see all n centroids. Each is the output of the Loop, but the problem here is that, each n also returns a corresponding example set, so I end up with n example sets which I do NOT want.
I only want the final example set. How can I get that example set? 

Regards

    If you have a collection of examplesets being returned, you can just use the "Select" operator to specify the one you want to keep (you could even do this automatically by making a macro for the loop iterations and using that as the number of the value to return in the Select operator).  If you are trying to do something more complex perhaps you can post your xml so it is a bit clearer.

    Hi @Ray8989,

    Maybe I have misunderstood your final goal,
    but you can apply the clustering model with max_runs = n to your dataset in parallel of the Loop Parameters operator.
    Please look at the process in attached file to understand what I mean...

    lionelderkrikor, It does work. And that is what the end goal was. But I want to use only one instance of Clustering. 
    Can you please guide me where and how to use macro?

    @lionelderkrikor works exactly as I wanted! Thank you!
