Hi @feiwu2024 ,

 

Thanks for the reply from @lbendlin .

 

Min(if([section]=”red“ and [category]=”high“,[depth])) over ([area],[block])” seems to calculate the minimum depth for records whose section is “red” and category is “high”, and group them by area and block.

 

Replace it with the syntax of DAX measure:

MinDepth = 
CALCULATE(
    MIN(Table[depth]),
    FILTER(
        Table,
        Table[section] = "red" && Table[category] = "high"
    ),
    ALLEXCEPT(Table, Table[area], Table[block])
)

 

You can learn more about these functions from the official documentation below:

CALCULATE function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn

MIN function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn

FILTER function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn

ALLEXCEPT function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn
