Looking to extract start year and end year from below table

Hi Guys,
I hope you all are doing well.

I had a quick question about the start and end date - It may be the simple one, But I can't find the solution.

 

I had a table with names and dates as follows below.

NamesYears
David2018
David2019
David2020
Peter2019
Peter2020
Alex2020
Alex2021
Alex2022

 

From the above table, I want to extract only the start year and end year


Output needs to look like

NamesStart YearEnd Year
David20182020
Peter20192020
Alex2020

2022

 

Any help can be appreciated - Thanks, and looking forward to the solution.

HI @Anonymous 

 

If you need a new table, then use this code to create a table:

New Table = 
SUMMARIZE (
    'Table',
    'Table'[Names],
    "Start Year", MIN ( 'Table'[Years] ),
    "End Year", MAX ( 'Table'[Years] )
)

 

File with all solutions attached.

Hi,

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

It is for creating a new table.

New Table =
ADDCOLUMNS (
VALUES ( Data[Names] ),
"@STartYear", CALCULATE ( MIN ( Data[Years] ) ),
"@EndYear", CALCULATE ( MAX ( Data[Years] ) )
)

Hi @Anonymous 

 

You can use below measures:

 

Start Year = MIN (Table[Years])

End Year = MAX (Table[Years])

then create a table and add Names, Start Year, and End Year to the table.

 

On the other hand, without measures, you can add Years column to the table with Min and Max aggregation.
