Hi All,
I have one simple table with two columns:
- one column for the customergroup name
-one column showing when that customer group was created
A customer group can have multiple customers. That's the reason why we have multiple creation dates per customer group. I would like to create a dax that shows the first date of creation per customer group.
Example: CustomerGroup1 has 3 dates but the first one was created the 1/01/2021 and therefore, I want to see that date shown up in a new column.
Thanks very much for your help!
Thanks very much. Is it a column measure or DAX measure? Ideally, I would like a measure I can create as a new column
Hi,
The suggestion that I provided was a calculated column, not a measure.
For creating a measure, please check the below.
First Date measure =
CALCULATE (
MIN ( Data[CreationDate] ),
INDEX (
1,
SUMMARIZE ( Data, Data[CustomerGroup], Data[CreationDate] ),
ORDERBY ( Data[CreationDate], ASC )
)
)
Hi,
Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.
It is for creating a new column.
INDEX function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn
First Date CC =
SELECTCOLUMNS (
INDEX (
1,
SUMMARIZE ( Data, Data[CustomerGroup], Data[CreationDate] ),
ORDERBY ( Data[CreationDate], ASC ),
,
PARTITIONBY ( Data[CustomerGroup] ),
MATCHBY ( Data[CustomerGroup], Data[CreationDate] )
),
Data[CreationDate]
)
Thanks. For your information, I am on Power Pivot, not Power BI. For some reasons, all the formulas don't appear in the predictive text. For example: Selectedcolumns appear but not the Index function.
Is your formula working with the Power Pivot environment?
