Creating a Custom Column

[v4anand18]

Hi All,

I am trying to create a custom column for one of my report using DAX but i am stuck. Please share your inputs. 

My data looks like this

Account No	Acct Open Date	Site ID	Acct Opened Year	Acct Opened Month	Column2	Column3	Column4	Column5
610670293	6/27/2013	610601152	2013	6		SIN		EDG CONSULTING PTE LTD

610746354	3/20/2015	610746354	2015	3		SIN		DECO-BASE ENTERPRISE PTE LTD

I am trying to create a column Open Date based on Site ID. Each Site ID has been repeated multiple times in the data but i want to retreive the date from "Acct Open Date" column that has the earliest date. 

For eg. Consider Site ID 610000333

Account No	Acct Open Date	Site ID	Acct Opened Year	Acct Opened Month	Column2	Column3	Column4	Column5
960624520	2/3/2018	610000333	2018	2		SIN		AMSBACH MARINE (S) PTE. LTD.
954234083	8/13/2012	610000333	2012	8		SIN		AMSBACH MARINE (S) PTE LTD
610000333	1/31/1988	610000333	1988	1	10036	SIN		AMSBACH MARINE (S) P/L

So in this case, i should get the "EARLIEST DATE" i.e. 1/31/1988 in the new column. So in the new custom column, wherever i have Site ID as "610000333", it should reflect as "1/31/1988". 

Please share your inputs. 

Thanks

HI @v4anand18,

You can use below formula to get earliest date based on current group site id:

Earliest Date =
MINX (
    FILTER ( ALL ( Table ), [Site ID] = EARLIER ( [Site ID] ) ),
    [Acct Open Date]
)
