Hello
I am trying to create a DAX formula that creates a new collumn that for any duplicate set of ID numbers identifes with 'Yes' the row that has the earliest date and a 'no' for all the others. Example of end result I am after is:
| ID | Date | *New Collumn* |
| A | 01/01/2024 | Yes |
| A | 02/01/2024 | No |
| B | 01/01/2023 | Yes |
| B | 02/01/2023 | No |
| C | 01/01/2024 | Yes |
I appreciate any help!
Thanks

Hi,
I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.
Expected result CC =
VAR _earliest =
MINX (
INDEX (
1,
SUMMARIZE(Data, Data[ID], Data[Date]),
ORDERBY ( Data[Date], ASC ),
,
PARTITIONBY ( Data[ID] ),
MATCHBY ( Data[ID], Data[Date] )
),
Data[Date]
)
RETURN
IF ( Data[Date] = _earliest, "Yes", "No" )
