HI All
I have a challenge task that required some help.
My dataset is located on the left, and my desired output logic involves marking only the first action for each product. By doing so, I can calculate the number of first actions per product.
Thank you in advance for your kind assistance. 😊

Hi ValtteriN ,thanks for the quick reply, I'll add more.
Hi @Jack_D ,
The Table data is shown below:
Please follow these steps:
1.Creating an index column in Power Query
Table.AddIndexColumn([Column],"Index",1)
2.Use the following DAX expression to create a column(The data type of the 'Index' column is number)
Column =
VAR _Product_type = [Product type1]
VAR _1st = MAXX(FILTER('Table',[Product type1] = _Product_type && [Index] = 1),[Actions])
VAR _2nd = MINX(FILTER('Table',[Product type1] = _Product_type && [Actions] <> _1st ) ,[Index])
RETURN IF([Index] >= _2nd,FALSE(),TRUE())
3.Use the following DAX expression to create a measure
Measure =
COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table',[Column] = TRUE()))
4.Final output
Best Regards,
