Continued ContributorRetrieving first column of data from a Matrix
Hi,
I'm trying to get a difference of Years in a dynamic Matrix.
The output in the screenshot below comes from the following formula, and is not the intended result.
CALCULATE(
MINX(GROUPBY('Helivalues Transaction History','Helivalues Transaction History'[Sale Year]),'Helivalues Transaction History'[Sale Year]),
FILTER(
'Helivalues Transaction History',
'Helivalues Transaction History'[Sale Year] =
MINX(GROUPBY('Helivalues Transaction History','Helivalues Transaction History'[Sale Year]),'Helivalues Transaction History'[Sale Year])
)
)
From the above, I'd want the values in the matrix, going from left to right to be:
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7. . . . (note that the 6 is missing because the year 2014 has no data in it)
but in order to do that, I need to return, in this example "2008" to subtract. But the above formula was intended to put 2008 in every cell, rather than the corresponding Column header.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Starting Sales Year = CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Helivalues Transaction History'[Sale Year] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Helivalues Transaction History'[Sale Year] ) )✨ Follow us on LinkedIn

mrothschildSorry parry2k one more quick question related to this. The same way I'm returning 2008, 2009, etc. as the constant earliest year based on the slicer with ALLSELECTED()
how am I able to retrieve a non-self-referential number associated with the same 2008, 2009, etc. For example how can I get the earliest [zzAverage Unit Current Price. . . ] associated with a given row to consistently appear in the matrix?
Thanks!

Thanks for that parry2k ,
but when I slice the Sale Year, to, say 2010, I want the Starting Sale Year to return 2010 please.
