Dax Measure similar to Dictionaries in Python

Hey I am trying to solve for something that I know how to do in Python but not in DAX.

Basically in my model, I have a list of managers and a performance stat (Revenue/Person)

I need a measure that returns the manager with the lowest stat. In Python, you could use a dictionary for this and return the key.

Is there something similar?

@Anonymous Please try something like this

I'm assuming you have manager column along with their stats. First get the minimum value in stats column and then get name of the manager belongs to min stats

Measure = 
VAR _minValue = CALCULATE(MIN('Table'[Stat]),ALL('Table'[Manager]))
VAR _key = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Manager]),'Table'[Stat]=_minValue)
RETURN _key
