I want to compute the sales
I want to compute the sales considering the first day of sales only.
1. The the first figure I avoided the Iteration of product table. Why did i not get an output.
2. I Avoided the iteration over the product table again, But the measure gave me an Output.
3. I iterated over the product table. Is it necessary to iterate over product table. What are the issues with first and second measure. Can someone help me out
Syntactically the first and second measure are identical. Min( sales[order date] ) == minx( sales, sales[order date]). The only difference is you have wrapped on in calculate, since there is no row context or calculate modifiers it does nothing.
The 3rd is wrong. You are summing the min order dates of each product together
It is not clear why your 1st and 2nd should have differing results
The first two return a single date for the first order from any product. So you will only get sales from products on that had sales on that day.
When you iterate products you are getting the first sales date, and then the sales amount per product, then summing the results. So this also includes products that have first orders after the very first order date

The third one is the correct one. I'm summing the sales amount of the product on the first day of sales.- Deku
You're right, with the formatting on the measure I misread it

So my doubt is, is it necessary to iterate over the product table?? Why do i get a different result when i don't iterate over product
