Comparing GroupedBy Dates

I have a list of customers and the dates of their appointments like so:

 

Customer IDAptDate
1111/1/2019
1111/5/2019
2222/3/2020
4442/4/2020
5552/5/2020
5552/6/2020
5552/7/2020
8882/8/2020
9992/9/2020
9992/10/2020
9992/11/2020

 

I'm trying to figure out how to keep track of the success rate of scheduling customers next appointment when they visit.  Successful Dataset would look like this (1 = NextAptScheduled): 

 

Customer IDAptDate (Past & Future)NextAptScheduled
1111/1/20191
1115/1/20210
2222/3/20200
4442/4/20200
5552/5/20201
5552/6/20201
5552/7/20200
8882/8/20200
9992/9/20201
9992/10/20201
9992/11/20220

 

I'm thinking it makes sense to group the customers by their ID's with the dates of their purchases, but am having a hard time figuring if I should do that with a groupby, summarize,  or summarizecolumns, and how to work with the dates in their respective groups to achieve the goal from there. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,

This calculated column formula works

=1*(not(CALCULATE(MAX(Data[AptDate (Past & Future)]),FILTER(Data,Data[Customer ID]=EARLIER(Data[Customer ID])))=Data[AptDate (Past & Future)]))

Hope this helps.

You can use this expression for a new Column on your Appointments table (replace with your actual table name).  I added a comment too in case you need the measure version in a table visual with your customer ID and Date columns.

 

NextApptScheduled =
VAR vThisDate = Appointments[AptDate]  //use MIN(Appointments[AptDate]) if a measure is needed instead
RETURN
    IF (
        ISBLANK (
            CALCULATE (
                COUNTROWS ( Appointments ),
                ALLEXCEPT (
                    Appointments,
                    Appointments[Customer ID]
                ),
                Appointments[AptDate] > vThisDate
            )
        ),
        0,
        1
    )

@czuniga , expected output is not clear . But these columns can help

 

rank Column for dates = rankx(filter(Table, [Customer] = earlier([customer]) ), [Date],,asc)


last purcahse date date = maxx(filter(Table, [Customer] = earlier([customer]) && [Date] = earlier([Date])),[Date])

Tried again to explain what I'm trying to accomplish as I wasn't able to get what you suggested work. Appreciate the input though!
