Determine min number by category while excluding records from consideration

I need to add a column to use for further analysis that gives me the minimum ItemId for each Category. In addition, though, I need to not consider ItemId records that have a Status of “Withdrawn” when determining which is the minimum ItemId.  I have been successful the following two ways in determining the minimum ItemId by Category but I don’t know how to add the filter to exclude the “Withdrawn” Status when performing this calculation. 

 

CALCULATE(MIN(table1[ItemId]),FILTER(table1,table1[Category]=EARLIER(table1[Category])))

 

CALCULATE (MIN (table1[ItemId]),ALLEXCEPT (table1, table1[Category])

 

Here is a sample dataset and what my expected result is.

 

Category

Hi @tlipkin 

 

You were quite close with your approach.  A slight adjustment to the below using a Calculated Column will get you what you're after:

 

_col = 

VAR _1 =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( _Table[ItemId] ) ,
        _Table[Status] <> "Withdrawn" ,
        ALLEXCEPT ( _Table , _Table[Category] ) )

RETURN

_1

 

Output is as per below screenshot:
