Advocate IINew Column that returns a single value based on date?
Hi,
I have the below data set with dates as to when a customer filled out a survey. I want to create two new columns that shows me their response based on The First Survey they filled out (earliest date). Then a second new column that does the same but shows the response for the last survey they filled out.
I've tried a bunch of claculations using values and first/last date. But i can't seem to get it correct.
Customer | Date | Response | OUT PUT (First Response) |
| Chad | Jan 1st 2020 | Pro | Pro |
| Sam | Jan 5th 2020 | Detract | Detract |
| Chad | Jan 9th 2020 | Pas | Pro |
| Chad | Jan 11th 2020 | Pas | Pro |
| Sam | Jan 2th 2020 | Pro | Pro |

Power Query or DAX? Calculated Column or Measure?
sharpedogsI need to show the values in a column. So either PowerQ or, calculated column or a new formular column would work.

Here is a very crude variation. I know this can be improved with LASTNONBLANKVALUE but i need to re-learn that.
Also, "Jan 2th" - really?!

Here's a slightly more noble version
First Response =var c = [Customer]var f = minx(filter(Surveys,[Customer]=c),[DateValue])return minx(filter(Surveys,[DateValue]=f && [Customer]=c),[Response])What do you expect to happen when the user submits multiple surveys on the same day?- sharpedogs
A customer (person) is only sent one survey a quarter. So there is no issue with multiple on the same day.
