Return Earliest Year

HI Experts,

 

I am trying to have powerBI return the third column below:

 

It has to filter Project column, find all projects with the same name, and then return a yes for the earliest year. 

 

ProjectDelivery YearEarliest Year
X2018Yes
Y2019No
Y2018Yes
A2016Yes
B2020Yes
C2018No
C2017Yes
C2019No
X2019No

 

Please advise,

Thank you

Hi @PowerBI87  ,

 

You can also try using the allexcept function to calculate the minimum year for each project and compare it with the year of the current line.Try this measure:

Measure =
VAR min_year =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( 'Table'[Delivery Year] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Project] )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( MAX ( 'Table'[Delivery Year] ) = min_year, "Yes", "No" )

 

Best Regards,
Liang

Hi,

Try this calculated column formula

=IF(Data[Delivery Year]=CALCULATE(Min(Data[Delivery Year]),Filter(Data,Data[Project]=Earlier(Data[Project]))),"Yes","No")

Hope this helps.

Is there an if statement that can display a "yes" in the specific row that is the first year?

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Thanks for your reply. I am looking to return the minumum year, not the project with that has the minum year.
