Hi Kristoffer
You could create a new column with DAX and use the MIN() function. As MIN() only takes 2 arguments you have to nest them:

There might be an easier way which I am not aware of.
Hope this helps!

You can use this calculated column
Column = VAR temp = { Table1[c1], Table1[c2], Table1[c3], Table1[c4], Table1[c5] } RETURN MINX ( Temp, [Value] )

You can do it from the Query Editor
Select the Columns>>>Go to "Add Column" Tab>>Statistics>>> MInimum

Both great solutions... this is however a table already generated from another table (my a summarize function) so I'm not able to see the table in 'edit queries'..
