Hi guys, I am fairly new to power bi and am trying to learn. I have a case and want to see if power bi is able to do this. So the case goes like this,
I have multiple products, let's say A, B, C, D that can be sourced from multiple sources S1, S2, S3 and each source has its own cost for specific assets. Sample dataset would like below : -
| Asset | Source | Cost |
| A | S2 | 1000 |
| B | S3 | 2000 |
| C | S1 | 3000 |
| A | S3 | 500 |
| B | S1 | 4000 |
| A | S1 | 1500 |
| B | S2 | 2500 |
| C | S2 | 3000 |
Now would it be possible to create a measure that returns a value indicating where I should order asset A from - S1, S2, or S3 so I can get the same product from the cheapest source. Maybe it can be possible to select a number of sources and the measure will calculate based on the selected sources.
Any help will be very appreciated!
Thank you!

@asad98 , USe this for source and Min for cost
Min Source =
VAR __id = MAX ('Table'[Asset] )
VAR __Cost = CALCULATE ( MIN('Table'[Cost] ), ALLSELECTED ('Table' ), 'Table'[Asset] = __id )
RETURN CALCULATE ( MIN ('Table'[Source] ), VALUES ('Table'[Asset ),'Table'[Asset] = __id,'Table'[Cost] = __Cost )
