First transaction for each user for each day

Hello everyone,
I was searching all around for DAX for my situation. Hope someone here can help me
So basically i have a table with thousands transactions per day, I need a DAX that is gonna give me earliest transaction for each day for each customer ID, for example if customer had 5 transactions that day, i want to see the first one, and same like that for every unique ID. Slicer for date will be set for only one day. for example only for 03.05.2023. And I want earliest transaction for every user that day. 
All best, and thank you in advanced!

hi @madzgalj_darko 

Supposing you have a table like:

user_idamountcreated_at
A15/4/2023 10:01
A25/4/2023 10:02
A35/4/2023 10:03
B115/4/2023 10:01
B225/4/2023 10:02
B335/4/2023 10:03

 

try like:
1)add a calculated column like:

 

date = DATEVALUE([created_at])

 

2)plot a table visual with user_id and date columns with a measure like:

 

DailyFirstAmt = 
MINX(
    TOPN(
        1,
        data,
        data[created_at],
        1
    ),
    data[amount]
)

 

it worked like:

Hi @FreemanZ ,thank you for your willingness to help.
So, I'm gonna try to explain as simple as possible.
So basically our customer have multiple transactions per day. What I need is the get their first transaction of certain day. I'm gonna post pic with example.

 Okay, so i circled couple examples. so you see user 3659 had two transaction, first one is 5.00$ at 19:55, and the other one is for 10.00$ at 19:45. Some users only have one transaction per day which is alright. But for those with multiple transactions i need DAX to return first transaction for that day for each user(in this case it is user-3658,amount 10.00$,time 19:45). So I need earliest transaction for each day, becouse most of the users have transactions every day. I want to see what is their first transaction in a day for every user.
 I hope I explained well.
Thank you!
