Find first non-zero value in calculate statement

[ConnieMaldonado]

I am trying to create a measure that will pick up the first non zero entry for a specific week.

Date	Value
3/14/2023	0
3/13/2023	32
3/12/2023	0
3/11/2023	45
3/10/2023	28
3/9/2023	65
3/8/2023	43

For today (3/14/23), the value would be 32 since today's value is 0.

If 3/13/23 was also 0, it would pick up 45 and so on until it finds the first non-zero value.

I wound up creating the logic using variables and if statements, but I know there's a cleaner way to do it.

Var _Value =

    CALCULATE(

        SUM('Table'[Value]),

        FILTER('Table', 'Table'[DATE] = TODAY())

    )

Is there any way to integrate the logic into the calculate statement above?

Thank you!  That worked.  I appreciate it.

Hi , @ConnieMaldonado 

According to your description, you want to "pick up the first non zero entry for a specific week.".

Here are the steps you can refer to :
(1)My test data is the same as yours.

(2)We can create a measure like this:

Measure = var _cur_value =   SUM('Table'[Value])
var _cur_date = MAX('Table'[Date])
var _t =FILTER( SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[Date] , "value", SUM('Table'[Value])) , [Date]<_cur_date && [value] <>0)
var _max_date =  MAXX(_t,[Date])
var _t2= FILTER(_t,[Date]=_max_date)
return
IF(_cur_value=0 , MAXX(_t2,[value]),_cur_value )

(3)Then we can put the measure on the visual and the result is as follows:

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!
