Sum minimum values for all categories

Hello,   I'm looking for help in summing the lowest values for every category. I understand I can throw in all the data and then run a min formula, that will give me a minimum value for every aggre...

    Hi Matt, thank you for replying.

    Unfortunately, this didn't work for me, it provided the following result 

     

    Category   Value   Current Result    Desired Result

    a                 1           1                         1

    a                 2           2                         

    b                 2           2                         2

    b                 2           2                         

    c                 4           4                         4

    c                 7           7                         

     

    I think I found the answer by using the following:

    =IF( CALCULATE(min(table[value]), ALLEXCEPT(table[category])) <> table[value], CALCULATE(min(table[value]), ALLEXCEPT(table[category])), 0)

    It still isn't ideal because there seem to be multiple min values in some categories and it sums all of them. I used other filters in the calculate formula to continue to exclude values. I might have to go to a rank function to make sure I don't double count minimum values
