Show first value by date

I have a report showing products that are on purchase order, basically:

Item, PO Number, Date due, Status. 

 

I have a page level filter on status so that it only shows Orders with the right status of outstanding. I want to show the first PO number only, based on earliest date due, per item number. Is that possible? 

 

So eg. If one item is on 2 different PO's, one due tomorrow and one next week, I would want the report to only give the PO number of the order due tomorrow, not next week

 

Thanks!

    Hi Shalin

     

    You may create a measure and then drag it to visual level filter. Attached the sample file for your reference.

    First =
IF (
    MAX ( 'Table'[Date due] )
        = MINX (
            FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Item] = MAX ( 'Table'[Item] ) ),
            'Table'[Date due]
        ),
    1
)

    Yes, but difficult to be specific without sample data. Please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

     

    That being said, generally you are going to use VAR to create a temp table of your PO's, use MINX to identify the minimum date in that table and then use MAXX or other aggregation against FILTER of your temp table where the date would equal the value from your MINX.
