How to find the minimum value within a column depending on the other columns in the Dataset

So in the picture below, you can see 3 columns. Now I want to choose the lowest value in the Ticket_owner_avg so the first column should look like:

Account - Creation| VNordfors| 0.14

and so on with the lowest value in  the Ticket_owner_avg column.

I have tried to make a formula but so far nothing is working. I have changed the formula to this: 

Min_Measure = GROUPBY(data, data[Item], "Ticket_owner_average",MINX(CURRENTGROUP(),data[Ticket_owner_avg]))
I am getting this error: The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you

My mistake I forgot that Ticket_owner_avg is a column


Filter Measure =

SUM ( [Ticket_owner_avg] ) - [Min_Measure]

Hi @Maulik_Patel 
GROUP by returns a table not a scalar value. Anyway, if I correctly understand your requirement then you can use 

 

Min_Measure =
MINX (
    CALCULATETABLE ( data, ALLEXCEPT ( Data, data[Item] ) ),
    data[Ticket_owner_avg]
)

 

So now, the output is as follows in the image below:

I want the ouput in the way below:

Account Creation VNordfors 0.14 0.14

Account Disable RSmith 0.7 0.7

and so on, I do not want the other rows to show up, I just want the minimum for each Item in the Item column.

Create new measure

Filter Measure =
[Ticket_owner_avg] - [Min_Measure]

place this measure in the filter pane and select "is" and insert the value "0"


you can also take out the Min_Measure from the table if you are not interested in showing it. 

please let me know if you still have any doupt

So I made the measure and inserted it in the Filters on this visual section and chnaged the filter values accordingly but it just removes all the data and leaves me with a blank page except for the column headers as shown in the picture above:

Is there a chance that the only the rounding of the numbers are equal but in fact they are not?

@Maulik_Patel 

Did you select "is"? Can you sahre a screenshot?

Here it is!

I feel like the measure has some calculation errors as when I add it as a column to the visual, this is what I get:

Yes that could be the case, that only the rounded numbers are equal and not the actual numbers
