Calculate formula and apply a Date filter + select only the first transaction date by client

Dear Community, 

 

I am working with a transaction table such as below:

Client IDTransaction DateSales
11/1/2019 $  100.00
11/1/2018 $  200.00
13/1/2018 $  355.00
14/5/2020 $      5.00
21/1/2019 $  100.00
21/1/2018 $  200.00
23/1/2018 $  355.00
24/5/2020 $      5.00

 

I am seeking your help as i would like to calculate the Sum of Total Sales for the first Transaction Date of each client for a specific period (e.g 2018)
The result using the above table should be: 400$


I have the folllowing formula:

Test =CALCULTATE(
SUM([Sales]), 
[Transaction Date] >="2018-01-01" && [Transaction Date] <="2018-12-31")

But would need to add the filter for the first Transaction by client.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers

Hi, @Vincem35 

 

Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

Table:

Calendar(a calculated table):

Calendar = CALENDARAUTO()

 

There is a relationship between two tables. You may create a measure as below.

Result = 
var tab = 
ADDCOLUMNS(
    SUMMARIZE(
        ALLSELECTED('Table'),
        'Table'[Client ID],
        "MinDate",
        MIN('Table'[Transaction Date])
    ),
    "S",
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('Table'[Sales]),
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            'Table'[Client ID]=EARLIER('Table'[Client ID])&&
            'Table'[Transaction Date]=EARLIER([MinDate])
        )
    )
)
return
SUMX(
    tab,
    [S]
)

 

Result:
