Return value with certain conditions, if another condition is true

[jeroenwmwillems]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get PowerBI to do something with a formula that's a bit over my head, was hoping you'd be able to help:

I want to have a column in my file, which returns a value for a specific user, that is dependant on some other conditions. To make it clearer, I made the example file below. 

I'd like to return the colour a user had, when they ordered the first time, to be returned in 'column wanted'.

So the formula would have to do the following things: 

Match the user ID with the User ID in the row, and then confirm that first time = yes. For the value where this is true, it should return the colour in the 'column wanted'. So practically, in this example, all rows for 'User 2' would have 'Red' in the 'column wanted'.

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi @jeroenwmwillems ,

measure =
CALCULATE (
    MAX ( table[Colour] ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( table, table[USER] ),
    table[First Time] = "Yes"
)

Try this.
Let me know if you have any questions.

If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.

Hi @jeroenwmwillems ,

Would you copy and paste the data instead of a picture, so we create a pbix? Thank you, Nathaniel
