Help with some Syntax

If someone can help me figure out how to fix my syntax I'd appreciate it. In the picture you can see that powerbi doesn't like my last section where I have the DELAY condition added. If I add it before the "OR" section of code that the error switches to the OR statement. 
 
02.Min.Task Time by SO# = CALCULATE(min('Open SO data'[BI_EVENT_DT_TM]),FILTER(allexcept('Open SO data','Open SO data'[BI_SO_NBR],'Open SO data'[BI_WRKFLW_TASK_SEQ_NBR],'Open SO data'[BI_WORK_EVENT_CD],'Open SO data'[BI_WORKGRP]), or('Open SO data'[BI_WORKGRP] = "CONFOLLOW" ,or('Open SO data'[BI_WORKGRP] = "CONST", 'Open SO data'[BI_WORKGRP] = "SUB")), 'Open SO data'[BI_WORK_EVENT_CD] = "DELAY"))

Hi @GunnerJ 

You seem to be using FILTER with three arguments. It takes only two. Try this, where I'm assuming you want and AND

 

02.Min.Task Time by SO# =
CALCULATE (
    MIN ( 'Open SO data'[BI_EVENT_DT_TM] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLEXCEPT (
            'Open SO data',
            'Open SO data'[BI_SO_NBR],
            'Open SO data'[BI_WRKFLW_TASK_SEQ_NBR],
            'Open SO data'[BI_WORK_EVENT_CD],
            'Open SO data'[BI_WORKGRP]
        ),
        OR (
            'Open SO data'[BI_WORKGRP] = "CONFOLLOW",
            OR ( 'Open SO data'[BI_WORKGRP] = "CONST", 'Open SO data'[BI_WORKGRP] = "SUB" )
        )
            && 'Open SO data'[BI_WORK_EVENT_CD] = "DELAY"
    )
)

 or this (I don't know what you are trying to do)

 

02.Min.Task Time by SO# =
CALCULATE (
    MIN ( 'Open SO data'[BI_EVENT_DT_TM] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLEXCEPT (
            'Open SO data',
            'Open SO data'[BI_SO_NBR],
            'Open SO data'[BI_WRKFLW_TASK_SEQ_NBR],
            'Open SO data'[BI_WORK_EVENT_CD],
            'Open SO data'[BI_WORKGRP]
        ),
        OR (
            'Open SO data'[BI_WORKGRP] = "CONFOLLOW",
            OR ( 'Open SO data'[BI_WORKGRP] = "CONST", 'Open SO data'[BI_WORKGRP] = "SUB" )
        )
    ),
    'Open SO data'[BI_WORK_EVENT_CD] = "DELAY"
)

@AlB I see my mistake. Thank you for the quick reply!
