DAX Question: Return the first date based on another column

Hi Everyone,

 

My first post here, very new to Power BI. Let's imaging a table [Work Status] that looks like below.

 

Annotation 2019-03-05 134718.jpg

 

Now I want to create a new column to return the first date of Finished status for each unique Item ID which is 7/11/2013.

 

The DAX which I wrote doesn't work:

Status Finished Date = CALCULATE(MIN('Work Status'[Date From], FILTER('Work Status', 'Work Status'[Status] = "Finished"))

 

Proprobaly I should not use CALCULATE?

 

Need help thanks!

Sorry I think I misplaced the brackets

 

Try this one

 

Status Finished Date =
CALCULATE (
    MIN ( 'Work Status'[Date From] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Work Status', 'Work Status'[item id] ),
        'Work Status'[Status] = "Finished"
    )
)

Try with this revision

 

Status Finished Date =
CALCULATE (
    MIN (
        'Work Status'[Date From],
        FILTER (
            ALLEXCEPT ( 'Work Status', 'Work Status'[item id] ),
            'Work Status'[Status] = "Finished"
        )
    )
)

 

Hi Zubair,

 

I tried your code in both measure and calculated column and it returns me the "single value cannot be determined" error.

 

How should I fix this?
