CalculateTable as First Occurence from Table with Repeated Values

[Anonymous]

I've simplified this as much as possible to focus on my need.

Every day I identify a list of errors in our system and add the current day's errors to a list of errors from previous days.

So the data table has the following structure and content: 

   Date    Error
01/01/2019   A
01/01/2019   B
01/01/2019   C
01/02/2019   A
01/02/2019   B
01/01/2019   C
01/02/2019   D

01/03/2019   B
01/03/2019   D

01/03/2019   E

01/03/2019   F

I'm trying to use CalculateTable to create a table that has only one row for each error, and the date on that row should be the first date for the row in the table.

I would like the resulting table to look like this:

   Date    Error
01/01/2019   A
01/01/2019   B
01/01/2019   C
01/02/2019   D

01/03/2019   E

01/03/2019   F

Thanks!

Hi,

Just in case you want to explore the Query Editor solution, you can use Group By and then select the function as Minimum.

Thanks!

This is the right path for what I need. Now I need to figure out an effective way to include results from more than one table in a matrix.

Cheers!

@Anonymous  I don' think CALCULATETABLE can do this operations.

you can try SUMMARIZE:

Summarize = SUMMARIZE('Table', 'Table'[Error], "Date", MIN('Table'[Date]))

Thanks! This is good to know if I need to summarize for a single column and don't need to use the results in a matrix. Unfortunately, I need to summarize for more than one column in the table and the results will be displayed in a matrix. I didn't demonstrate that in my details, so you wouldn't have known.
