Percent Return for last 5 trading days (Base Price as of Earliest Date)

How can I make PxBase (base price) the same for all cells (according to earliest day price)

ALC9816_0-1656474068754.png

In Tableau, I would do this.  How do I do it in Power Bi?
 { FIXED [Ticker] : SUM( IF [Date.Index] = [MinDate] THEN SUM([Close) END) }  


My current measure formula are as below.  The raw date range is from 2020 to 2022, thus I created an index column in the table to calculate the last 5 trading days for each ticker (dates are non-continious due to weekends and holidays in different stock markets). 

PxCurrent = 
VAR MaxIndex = CALCULATE( MAX(IndexETF_L2Y[Index]), ALLEXCEPT(IndexETF_L2Y,IndexETF_L2Y[Ticker]) ) 
VAR CurIndex = CALCULATE( MIN(IndexETF_L2Y[Index]), ALLEXCEPT(IndexETF_L2Y, IndexETF_L2Y[Ticker], IndexETF_L2Y[Date.Index]) ) 
VAR Period = 5
VAR Counter = MaxIndex - CurIndex 
VAR CurPx     = CALCULATE( SUM(IndexETF_L2Y[Close]), FILTER(IndexETF_L2Y, Counter <= Period) ) 
RETURN
    CurPx

 

PxBase = 
VAR MaxIndex = CALCULATE( MAX(IndexETF_L2Y[Index]), ALLEXCEPT(IndexETF_L2Y,IndexETF_L2Y[Ticker]) ) 
VAR CurIndex = CALCULATE( MIN(IndexETF_L2Y[Index]), ALLEXCEPT(IndexETF_L2Y, IndexETF_L2Y[Ticker], IndexETF_L2Y[Date.Index]) ) 
VAR Period = 5
VAR Counter = (MaxIndex - CurIndex)
VAR StartPx   = CALCULATE( SUM(IndexETF_L2Y[Close]), FILTER(IndexETF_L2Y, Counter = Period) )
RETURN
    StartPx


Ultimately, I want to divide PxCurrent / PxBase - 1 in order to get to the last 5 days percent change (pegged to starting date) chart like this:

Grateful for any Power Bi Master's help.

@ALC9816 , if 5 days data is already filtered and PX base is a measure

 

calculate(firstnonblankvalue(Table[Date], [PxBase]), allselected(Table))

Thank you for the quick reponse, and the good idea on FirstNonBlankValue.  I tweaked the solution a bit to accomodate to my data layout as follow:


calculate(firstnonblankvalue(Table[Date], [PxCurrent]), allexcept(Table,[Ticker]))
 

The resulting table looks like this:

For any one out there looking for this solution, please see code below:

 

PxChg.L5d = 
VAR MaxIndex = CALCULATE( MAX(IndexETF_L2Y[Index]), ALLEXCEPT(IndexETF_L2Y,IndexETF_L2Y[Ticker]) ) 
VAR CurIndex = CALCULATE( MIN(IndexETF_L2Y[Index]), ALLEXCEPT(IndexETF_L2Y, IndexETF_L2Y[Ticker], IndexETF_L2Y[Date.Index]) ) 
VAR Period = 5  //Adjust for different lookback period
VAR Counter = MaxIndex - Period
VAR CurPx = CALCULATE( SUM(IndexETF_L2Y[Close]), FILTER(IndexETF_L2Y, MIN(IndexETF_L2Y[Index]) >= Counter) ) 
VAR BasePx = CALCULATE( FIRSTNONBLANKVALUE(IndexETF_L2Y[Date.Index], 
                IF(MIN(IndexETF_L2Y[Index]) >= Counter, SUM(IndexETF_L2Y[Close]))), 
                ALLEXCEPT(IndexETF_L2Y,IndexETF_L2Y[Ticker])
            ) 
RETURN   
IF( MIN(IndexETF_L2Y[Index]) >= Counter,
    DIVIDE( CurPx, BasePx ) - 1
)    

 


Thanks again, amitchandak.  Will subscribed and like your youtube channel.  Grateful!
