Hi
Situation
- I Have 2 tables, the first one contains 'Topics', the second one contains multiple 'subtopics'
Question
- How can I get a column returned that exists of each topic in combination with only the 'smallest' number of subtopic for each topic
Tx in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Misha ,
Please try following DAX:
Column = IF('Table'[Subtopic] =
MINX(
FILTER('Table','Table'[Topic] = EARLIER('Table'[Topic])
),
'Table'[Subtopic]
),
'Table'[Topic])
Best regards,
Yadong Fang
