Display first date based on multiple if statements

Hello everyone,   Question: How do I display the first Date using DAX when either Production A or Production B exceeds the values in the Forecast culumn?   Thank you!

    queryuser you can use this measure

    Measure =
MINX (
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'Table'[Date] ),
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            VAR _prodA =
                CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Prod A] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Date] ) )
            VAR _prodB =
                CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Prod B] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Prod B] ) )
            VAR _forecast =
                CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Forecast] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Date] ) )
            RETURN
                _prodA > _forecast
                    || _prodB > _forecast
        )
    ),
    'Table'[Date]
)

Hello,

 

Tried all 3 solutions without success. Managed to get the dates with my initial formula, with all colums (Prod A & B, Forecast) transformed into measures

 

Maybe you know how to get only one date from the result?

 

First date=
IF(OR([Calc. Sum Production A]>=[Forecast],
[Calc. Sum Production B]>=[Forecast]),
FIRSTDATE(Table1[Date]),"")

 

So now the result looks like that in Power BI - so I need to see only the first date (tried filtering blanks did not work)

      Dear  smpa01,

       

      The calculation worked well. Yet how would you display the first date as an attribute if for example there would an additional column saying internal or external demand for each of those rows.

       

      So that the result is now not the date but the text of the additional column indicating if this is (internal or external) date. 

       

      Many thanks in advance!

       

      Best regarads,

    I guess you could make a measure from your calculated column with min. This would return The earliest date or on this case of the Blank values cause issues in The min measure consider using If and Make a condition ignoring the blanks.
