    Assuming your table is called FactSpend with columns:  Date,  Audience,  Advertisement, Spend
    If the category is Audience: Try
    FirstSpendDate_Audience =
    CALCULATE (
    MIN ( FactSpend[Date] ),
    FILTER (
    ALL ( FactSpend ),
    FactSpend[Audience] = EARLIER ( FactSpend[Audience] )
    && FactSpend[Spend] > 0
    )
    )

     Flag if first spend is within last 7 days

    NewAudienceFlag_Last7Days =
    VAR FirstDate =
    [FirstSpendDate_Audience]
    VAR TodayDate =
    TODAY ()
    RETURN
    IF (
    NOT ISBLANK ( FirstDate )
    && FirstDate >= TodayDate - 7
    && FirstDate <= TodayDate,
    1,
    0
    )
