Hi @M2M,

 

What is your main goal with this measure?

 

What do you want to have?

 

You can give more data and I may try to help.

Hello ,

There is no specific requirements as such.Just that while playing around with DAX I stumbled across this behavior.I will post some sample data after sometime.But you can create the data using the ones I have posted on the screenshot.
