How can I get Minimum Date For category and sales DAX

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

I would like to get the Minimum date of each category and it's sales.

Conditions for calculation:

1) Get Minimum date   for each category and it's Sales

2) Exclude where Category = "07-LFN"

3) Show only current financial year records where financial year starts from July to June.

Thanks in advance

Dee

Hi @Anonymous ,

If you want it in Power Query , please try

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("bc5RCoAwCIDhu+y5kbqV2wV6ihq9Rve/RjoJYvgmfOjvfQfA2FoLUyAgmnEGkhkhYwrP5HBSzonY56zM4sYU92v7McpcoYCvPc0LV59Tn6sc6cxx3w5jFEbdZpYPRnXKo1qZvvLIVl6/chE+jUHLehux5OpzP06Lbj8v", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Category = _t, Date = _t, Sales = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Category", type text}, {"Date", type date}, {"Sales", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Filtered Rows"= Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each [Category]<>"07-LFN" and Date.Year([Date])=Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow()) ),
    
     #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Filtered Rows", {"Category"}, {{"Count", each _, Value.Type(#"Filtered Rows")}, {"Minimum Date", each List.Min([Date]) }}),
    #"Expanded Count" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Count", {"Date", "Sales"}, {"Date", "Sales"}),
    #"Filtered"=Table.SelectRows(#"Expanded Count", each [Date]=[Minimum Date]),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(Filtered,{"Minimum Date"})
in
     #"Removed Columns"

Output:

Or:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("bc5RCoAwCIDhu+y5kbqV2wV6ihq9Rve/RjoJYvgmfOjvfQfA2FoLUyAgmnEGkhkhYwrP5HBSzonY56zM4sYU92v7McpcoYCvPc0LV59Tn6sc6cxx3w5jFEbdZpYPRnXKo1qZvvLIVl6/chE+jUHLehux5OpzP06Lbj8v", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Category = _t, Date = _t, Sales = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Category", type text}, {"Date", type date}, {"Sales", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Filtered Rows"= Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each [Category]<>"07-LFN" and Date.Year([Date])=Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow()) ),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Filtered Rows", {"Category"}, {{"Count", each _, type table [Category=nullable text, Date=nullable date, Sales=nullable number]}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Custom", each Table.Min([Count],"Date")),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Count"}),
    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Removed Columns", "Custom", {"Date", "Sales"}, {"Date", "Sales"}),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Custom",{{"Category", type text}, {"Date", type date}, {"Sales", Int64.Type}})
in
    #"Changed Type1"

Hey @Anonymous ,

consider to re-create the sample data in a way that can be easily used in Power BI. As you are using dates consider creating a Power BI file, upload the pbix to onedrive or dropbox and share the link.

Regards,

Tom
