Lowest Value Name

[abartozzi]

Hi community, 

Have tried some ideas but didn't work out. 

I have this pivot table:

So as you can see, for every date there are multiple entries depending on the OTA. What I also have (not shown here) is a minimum column that locate the min value from the OTAs (Expedia, Findhotel, Edreams, etc) columns. What I need to specify is where that value comes from, in other words I need a column next to the min one that tells me where to find that price. 

Would it be this possible?

thanks 😄

Hi @abartozzi

If I understand correctly, do you want the lowest value corresponding to Expedia, Findhotel, Edreams, or some other field?
Maybe you can create a measure get it, could you provide you pbix after removing sensitive information?

Hi @v-xulin-mstf 

imagine another table where you have a "rate" column where it shows the min value of all columns (Expedia, Findhotels, etc) and another column next to it called "OTA" that shows the website selling it 

E.g in the chart i gave you Sunday Aug 22nd you have Maison Fleurie Record where Edreams is the cheapest value hence the measure should do:

Hotel	Rate	OTA
Maison Fleurie	132	Edreams

Where the table is a pivot (like the one i gave) where colums are on a first stage the date and following the example i gave you. In detail

• the hotel: comes straight from the database
• Rate: is a calculated column that picks the min of other columns (rates of: expedia, findhotels, etc)
• OTA: is the measure that explicts the name of the min column of Rate 

hope it clarifies

Hi @abartozzi,

Try measure as:

Measure=
if(
   [Rate]=Minx(filter(all'table','table'[hotel]=max('table'[hotel])),[Rate]),
   max('table'[OTAs]),
   blank()
)

If you still have some question, please don't hesitate to let me known.‌‌

Hi @v-xulin-mstf 

I gave it a crack but didn't work out. I enclosed a copy of the report here

there is no much sensitive information so you can play around. have a look and let me know

Hi @abartozzi,

Depending on your data structure, calculating the field name corresponding to the maximum value in different fields is not supported, perhaps you can change the data structure to unpivot 'AVES', 'Bookling.com', 'Agoda.com', etc. into one column as follows.

Then try measure as:

Measure 2 = 
IF(
    [Measure]=MAXX(FILTER(ALL('test table'),'test table'[Category]=MAX('test table'[Category])),[Measure]),
    MAX('test table'[Subcategory]),
    BLANK()
)

I added this into the demo, please try it.

If you still have some question, please don't hesitate to let me known.‌‌

@abartozzi , Based on what I got.

Remove OTA from column. Create this measure on you measure in matrix column

calculate(Min(Table[OTA]), ,TOPN( 1,allselected(Table[OTA]),[Measure],DESC), values(Table[OTA])))

and use this one

Hi @amitchandak 

just to clarify, OTA is not a column as in Expedia, Findhotels, etc. are OTAs so what i have to try to come up with is the name of the lowest value among all of these (there are more XD). So going back to your measure, shall I list all the involved columns (Expedia, Findhotels, etc) to imply the list of column to check?

thanks for your help
