Hi all,   Quite often I run into an issue regarding my relationships between tables.   In this case I have information on production orders, processes and quality in three different tables. They ...

    Hi all,

     

    I managed to solve it through af combination of the suggestions posted in the thread.

    Thanks to everyone for inputs!

     

    The solution for the time of controls was:

    FirstControl =
    MINX (
        TOPN (
            1, 
            'QualityControl', 
            'QualityControl'[CheckedDateTime], 
            DESC 
        ), 
        'QualityControl'[CheckedDateTime] 
    )

SecondControl = 
    MINX (
        TOPN (
            2, 
            'QualityControl', 
            'QualityControl'[CheckedDateTime], 
            DESC 
        ), 
        'QualityControl'[CheckedDateTime] 
    )

     

    As I actually needed the five latest times of control I just increased the TOPN value for each measure.

You could create a measure like

First QC =
SELECTCOLUMNS (
    INDEX (
        1,
        'Quality Control',
        ORDERBY ( 'Quality Control'[Checked datetime], ASC ),
        PARTITIONBY ( 'Quality Control'[Production Order No] )
    ),
    "@val", 'Quality Control'[Checked datetime]
)

and for the second time just change the first argument to INDEX to 2 instead of 1. Make sure that your table visual is using the production order number column from the production order table and it should work.

    Hi johnt75 

    Thanks for your response!
    I'm unable to use the INDEX function. I think it's due to the DirectQuery connection.
    I have the same issue sometimes with the CALCULATE function.

      Are you running the December 2022 version of Power BI Desktop? If not, try updating to the latest version. The INDEX function was only introduced in November or December I think.

        Sorry for my late response.
        It took some time to get Power BI Desktop updated as I'm not allowed to do it myself.

         

        I've tried to use your suggestion but get the error:

        "INDEX Relation paramter may have duplicate rows. That is not allowed."
