Help With finding the earliest Date

hoggwildd

If you don't want to use DAX - you can get the same result in the Query Editor using Group By

1) Duplicate your Table

2) then Group By - Customer ID and the new Column "First Contact" you are creating based on the MIN date for each Customer ID

3) Close & Apply

4) Create a Matrix - drag First Contact to the Rows and Customer ID to the Values

(change to Distinct -although the values are already distinct because we did the Group BY)

Follow the picture below...

OPTION 2

You can actually achieve the same result with a simple DAX Column in your current Table

First Contact Column = CALCULATE ( FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[Date],1), ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[Customer ID]) )

Then Create a Matrix HOWEVER

1) use the First Contact Column in the Rows (keep only Year and Month from the Hierarchy)

2) drag First Contact Column again but this time to the Values

AND this time you have to change the default earliest to distinct count

Hope this helps! :smileyhappy:
