Creating columns for count, min, avg, and max calculations based on parameter from another column

I have a table with count, min, avg, and max for each item, however I also want to show count, min, avg, and max for items with age >=48 hours in the same table. For reference Age column has values:

Power BI does not allow me to set a filter on a specific column (applies to entire visual) so it affects the previous count, min, avg, and max calculations that I want to keep separate. I tried creating a calculated column for the minimum when age >=48 hours:

Column = IF('NCR Open Calls'[Age Sort]="less than 48",BLANK(),CALCULATE(MIN('NCR Open Calls'[AGE]),FILTER('NCR Open Calls','NCR Open Calls'[ITEM DESCRIPTION]=EARLIER('NCR Open Calls'[ITEM DESCRIPTION]))))

However, I am not getting data I would expect.

Any improvements for the logic or formula would be appreciated!

You can start creating measures for the new count, min, avg, and max calculations that consider only items with age >= 48 hours:

CountAgeGreater48 =
CALCULATE(
COUNT('NCR Open Calls'[AGE]),
FILTER(
'NCR Open Calls',
'NCR Open Calls'[Age Sort] <> "less than 48"
)
)




Then Min for Age >= 48 hours:

MinAgeGreater48 =
CALCULATE(
MIN('NCR Open Calls'[AGE]),
FILTER(
'NCR Open Calls',
'NCR Open Calls'[Age Sort] <> "less than 48"
)
)

Then Average for Age >= 48 hours:

AvgAgeGreater48 =
CALCULATE(
AVERAGE('NCR Open Calls'[AGE]),
FILTER(
'NCR Open Calls',
'NCR Open Calls'[Age Sort] <> "less than 48"
)
)

And finally Max for Age >= 48 hours:

MaxAgeGreater48 =
CALCULATE(
MAX('NCR Open Calls'[AGE]),
FILTER(
'NCR Open Calls',
'NCR Open Calls'[Age Sort] <> "less than 48"
)
)

Now, when you use these measures in a table visual, they will automatically take the context of the visual into account. This means that, for each item description, Power BI will only consider rows with age >= 48 hours when computing the values of these measures.

This approach ensures that other calculations (your original count, min, avg, max) remain unaffected by the >= 48 Note that if `'NCR Open Calls'[Age Sort]` is a derived column from `'NCR Open Calls'[AGE]`, you can also directly filter based on the AGE column value itself. For instance, if AGE is in hours, you can replace `'NCR Open Calls'[Age Sort] <> "less than 48"` with `'NCR Open Calls'[AGE] >= 48` in the measures above.
