            FILTER (
                Table1,
                [key] = EARLIER ( [key] )
                    && [date] < EARLIER ( [date] )
                    && [value] = 0
            ),
            [Date], DESC
        ),
        [date]
    )
VAR BLANKROWDateafter =
    MINX (
        TOPN (
            1,
            FILTER (
                Table1,
                [key] = EARLIER ( [key] )
                    && [date] > EARLIER ( [date] )
                    && [value] = 0
            ),
            [Date], ASC
        ),
        [date]
    )
VAR Date1 =
    IF ( ISBLANK ( BLANKROWDatebefore ), DATE ( 1900, 1, 1 ), BLANKROWDatebefore )
VAR Date2 =
    IF ( ISBLANK ( BLANKROWDateafter ), DATE ( 3000, 1, 1 ), BLANKROWDateafter )
RETURN
    IF (
        [value] <> 0
            && COUNTROWS (
                FILTER ( Table1, [key] = EARLIER ( [key] ) && [date] < Date2 && [date] > Date1 )
            ) > 9,
        [value]
