How can I obtain the minimum value from my measure

Hello,

 

I have a dashboard in which I want to determine the difference from a high water mark of running totals form a set of values.

I have three measures:

 

1. Running Total, this calculates the running total of the values in date order.

 

Running Total = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM(Data[Value]),
    FILTER ( ALLSELECTED(Data), Data[Index] <= MAX ( Data[Index] ) )
)

 

 

2. High Water Mark, this calculates the highest value the Running Total has reached so far.

 

High Water Mark = 
MAXX (
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED( 'Data' ), Data[Index] <= MAX ( Data[Index] ) ),
        "Running Total", [Running Total]
    ),
    [Running Total]
)

 

 

3. Difference from High Water Mark, this calculates the difference between the High Water Mark and the Running Total.

 

Difference from High Water Mark = [Running Total] - [High Water Mark]

 

 

I want to be able to capture the minimum value of the Difference from High Water Mark which would be -226 but I am unable to do so as the MIN() function cannot be used against a measure.

 

Can anyone help me on how I can obtain this minimum value?

 

MY PBIX file can be downloaded from this wetransfer link...PBIX file 

 

Any help you can offer is appreciated.

 

Kind regards,

 

Neil

Please find the other formula where I calculated the min value till the current row.

@tharunkumarRTK, thanks for your response, it was very helpful.

 

I'm going to mark the other response from @ThxAlot as the solution as it needed less measures in my model.
