    Hi jaduncan0515 ,

     

    (1) We can create measures.

    Min_price = CALCULATE(MIN('Table'[Price]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[State]=MAX('Table'[State])))
    Min_outourced = CALCULATE(MIN('Table'[Outsourced %]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[State]=MAX('Table'[State])))
    Vendor_Name = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Vendor Name]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[State]=MAX('Table'[State]) && [Price]=[Min_price] && [Outsourced %]=[Min_outourced]))

    (2) We can create a table.

    Table 2 = SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[State],"min price",[Min_price],"min outourced",[Min_outourced],"vendor name",[Vendor_Name])

    (3) Then the result is as follows.

Thank you. That is close. What I failed to mention is that I don't need the vendor to cover the whole US, I need an optimized list containing the fewest number vendors that will cover the US combined at with the lowest price and outsourced %.

 

The forum will not allow me to upload files, so I've put a link to a google sheet below of some sample data.
