Hi, I've had a search and found some countifs solutions for powerBI but none that I can see that are a solution to my goal so I'm hoping that somone could share a possible solution.
Summary: I need to flag rows true or false if they are new based on a variable criteria match from 2 columns.
The Excel formula I use is quite simple;
=COUNTIFS(A:A,"<"&A2,C:C,C2)=0
So if there is a row found where the Date in column A is less than the current row date and the HostOrderID is the same as the current row HostOrderID the record is not new as it appears in previous rows (count is > 0) and is flagged FALSE otherwise it's new (count = 0) and flagged TRUE.
I have tried this but it returns true for all rows.
Example data set;
| A | B | C | |
| 1 | Date | New PR | HostOrderId |
| 2 | 8/09/2021 | TRUE | PldOrd/16877001// |
| 3 | 9/09/2021 | FALSE | PldOrd/16877001// |
| 4 | 10/09/2021 | FALSE | PldOrd/16877001// |
| 5 | 11/09/2021 | FALSE | PldOrd/16877001// |
| 6 | 12/09/2021 | FALSE | PldOrd/16877001// |
| 7 | 13/09/2021 | FALSE | PldOrd/16877001// |
| 8 | 14/09/2021 | FALSE | PldOrd/16877001// |
| 9 | 8/09/2021 | TRUE | PldOrd/21105414// |
| 10 | 9/09/2021 | FALSE | PldOrd/21105414// |
| 11 | 10/09/2021 | FALSE | PldOrd/21105414// |
| 12 | 11/09/2021 | FALSE | PldOrd/21105414// |
| 13 | 12/09/2021 | FALSE | PldOrd/21105414// |
| 14 | 13/09/2021 | FALSE | PldOrd/21105414// |
| 15 | 14/09/2021 | FALSE | PldOrd/21105414// |
Thanks in advance for any advice offered 🙂

Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous , a new column like
if([Date] < minx(filter(Table,[HostOrderId] =earlier([HostOrderId]) ),[Date]) , True(), false() )
or
if([Date]<= minx(filter(Table,[HostOrderId] =earlier([HostOrderId]) ),[Date]) , True(), false() )
Change as per need

Hi @Anonymous
You can use something such as the following calculated column.
col_Date =
VAR _CurrentHost = 'Table'[HostOrderId]
VAR _Date = 'Table'[Date]
VAR _FirstDate = MIN ( 'Table'[Date] )
VAR _CountDate = COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ) , _Date = 'Table'[Date] ) )
VAR _CountHost = COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ) , _CurrentHost = 'Table'[HostOrderId] ) )
RETURN
IF ( _CountDate > 1 && _CountHost > 1 && _Date = _FirstDate , TRUE , FALSE )
Hope it helps 🙂

PS - my bad, after I posted this I noticed @amitchandak had a response as well. I had it in draft for a bit. Apologies! Please give the solution to @amitchandak if his gives you what you want.
