<Background>

  • Function "min" need "Column" , so I could'nt use this function in such situation
  • I reseached the function which can compare scalar of each argument, but I couldn't get it

Hi,

I suggest unpivotting it in Power Query Editor.

Or, if Power Query Editor is not reachable, try creating a virtual tables those contain two columns (Product column and one of Year columns)  inside a DAX measure, and then union all of them. And then MIN dax function can be possible used.

Thanks.

-->I understand your comment. Normally, it's impossible to compare and get minimum value for same record.
