DAX help needed Filter Problem

I have data that looks like this

 

Credit Unions

Credit union key               credit union name  Membership size

1                                              ABC CU                                 20000

2                                              ABC CU                                 20000

3                                              ABC CU                                 20000

5                                              XXX CU                                 10000

 

Activations

Credit Union Key              Customer Key   Activation date

1                                              1                              10/31/18

1                                              2                              10/31/18

2                                              3                              11/01/18

3                                              4                              02/02/19

5                                              5                              01/03/19

5                                              6                              02/01/19

 

I want to find the  first date a customer activated at the Credit union

 

I am using this and it works until I put a page filter of 2019 onto my report

 

First Activation Date =

 

MINX(DISTINCT('Credit Unions'[Credit Union Name]),CALCULATE(min('Activations'[Activation Date])

, ALL(Dates[FullDate]))

 

I am also trying to get the count of activations in 2019 by doing this

Activation to New Cus =

 

CALCULATE([Total Activations],Filter('Credit Unions',[First Activation Date] >DATEVALUE("12/31/18")),all(Dates[FullDate]))

 

 

Lastly I need a year to date total as well

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

First Activation Date =
MINX (
    DISTINCT ( 'Credit Unions'[Credit Union Name] ),
    CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Activations'[Activation Date] ) )
)

Activation to New Cus =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Credit Unions'[credit union name] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Credit Unions'[credit union name] ),
        YEAR ( [First Activation Date] ) = YEAR ( TODAY () )
    )
)

Thank you so much - but your solution did not work - see screen shot below.  I renamed your formulas to First Activation Date 2 and Activation to New CU2.  You can see the results next to the correct ones that I did in SQL prior to loading the data.

 

This Visual is filtered to 2019

oh man - this is driving me crazy.

 

I put an indicator in to give me a yes or no and this works

 

Test new cu =
if([First Activation Date] > DATEVALUE("12/31/18")

,"Y","N")
 
but then when I put it into this formula it doesn't work
 
Activation to New Cus =
countx(FILTER('Activations',[Test new cu]="Y"),'Activations'[customer key])

I gave up and ended up doing the logic in SQL but I would love to know the answer.

ok - I figured out the first activation peice

 

the new code is

MINX(DISTINCT('Credit Unions'[Credit Union Name]),CALCULATE(min('Activations'[Activation Date])
, ALL(Dates))
 
 
Duh
but I still need to get to the Activations to New Cus
