Cohort - Calculation Troubles - Calculate / Divide and MIN ?

Hello All, 

 

I'm using the Matrix visual in Power BI to create a "Cohort" analysis. 

 

As you can see below, we have the date month of the first order (first column) and then by month how many customers stayed. 

The table is build in a was that we have no date intelligence. Thus I'm solely relying on min/max (but it doesn't work). 

 

In the expected result table, you can see that I want to :
Divide(
Calculate(sum(value)),
Calculate(sum(value)),
Filtered by ? To obtain the minimum of the row.

 

Exemple: 80/150=53% for 201704 on the row 201701

the "201701" are number and represent the year & month. 

 

Thank you in advance for your insights! 

 

Best,

BT

Craete a measure.

Measure =
VAR _mindate =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( 'Table'[date 2] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[date] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[date] )
                && 'Table'[value] <> BLANK ()
        )
    )
VAR mu_ =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[value] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[date] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[date] )
                && 'Table'[date 2] = _mindate
        )
    )
VAR zi =
    MAX ( 'Table'[value] )
RETURN
    DIVIDE ( zi, mu_ )
