I have done some searching and found a few posts close to what I'm after, but can't quite get the result I need! In particular, this was real close.
I have a table like this (date format is DDMMYYYY):
JobNo | StageID | TargetDate | ActualDate |
12 | 100 | 01/01/2020 | 02/01/2020 |
12 | 200 | 07/01/2020 | 06/01/2020 |
12 | 300 | 14/01/2020 | 10/01/2020 |
12 | 400 | 31/01/2020 | 21/01/2020 |
28 | 100 | 03/01/2020 | 03/01/2020 |
28 | 200 | 05/01/2020 | 07/01/2020 |
28 | 400 | 15/01/2020 | 21/01/2020 |
28 | 500 | 20/01/2020 | 30/01/2020 |
I want to return the "Scheduled Start Date" for a particular job (being the target date where StageID = 100 for a job) in a separate column in query editor so my table will look something like this:
JobNo | StageID | TargetDate | ActualDate | StartDate |
12 | 100 | 01/01/2020 | 02/01/2020 | 01/01/2020 |
12 | 200 | 07/01/2020 | 06/01/2020 | 01/01/2020 |
12 | 300 | 14/01/2020 | 10/01/2020 | 01/01/2020 |
12 | 400 | 31/01/2020 | 21/01/2020 | 01/01/2020 |
28 | 100 | 03/01/2020 | 03/01/2020 | 03/01/2020 |
28 | 200 | 05/01/2020 | 07/01/2020 | 03/01/2020 |
28 | 400 | 15/01/2020 | 21/01/2020 | 03/01/2020 |
28 | 500 | 20/01/2020 | 30/01/2020 | 03/01/2020 |
Any help would be much appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello @DavidBlockAU,
You can try the following steps:
1. Create a duplicate of the table. Go to that duplicate table.
2. Go to Transform > Group By. Enter JobNo as Grouping, New column name - 'StartDate', Operation - 'Min' & Column - 'TargetDate'. Click on OK.
3. Go to the original table > Merge Queries. Merge original and duplicate table with JobNo column.
4. Expand the column and select only 'StartDate. You will have your column.
Hope this helps.
Make sure it is a date column, detected by power BI. I created the following two
Target Date New = mid(schedulestartdate[TargetDate],4,2) &"/"& left(schedulestartdate[TargetDate],2) & "/" & right(schedulestartdate[TargetDate],4)
start Date= LOOKUPVALUE(schedulestartdate[Target Date New],schedulestartdate[JobNo],FIRSTNONBLANK(schedulestartdate[JobNo],TRUE()),schedulestartdate[StageID],100,FIRSTNONBLANK(schedulestartdate[Target Date New],TRUE()))

Can't believe I didn't think to do this, already have 3 merges in the model! Thanks for the suggestion @rajulshah!
