If function with distinct count

Hi,

 

I have a database as below and need to populate my client status as new or old. A client is considered as new if the 'date' and 'live date' are same. For rows 2 and 3, client is same however it has a new deal marked as -002.  client 12303 is counted twice for data source B. I need to populate the second row as blank as it has already be counted once in row 2.

 

Client Status =  IF('Table1'[Date] ='Table1'[Live_Date] , "New", )

 

How do i use distinct count?

 

Apologies for too many complications.

assuming the deals are done in chronogical order you could then rephrase the logic to

for a given customer, if the Table1[date] is equal to the the Table1[Live_date] of the first deal made for that customer then new

which corresponds to this code

Status =
VAR CurrentCustomer = Table1[Client ID]
VAR CurrentDate = Table1[Live_date]
VAR FirstDealDate =
CALCULATE (
MIN ( Table1[Live_date] ),
FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Client ID] = CurrentCustomer )
)
RETURN
IF ( Table1[date] = FirstDealDate, "new", "old" )

which gives your expected output
