Hello community!
I have an issue that seems really simple but because it is based on calculated columns to a calculated table I cannot use the Power Query Editor (as far as I know).
What I am trying to do is the following:
- I have table 1 in which I created a calculated column to find the earliest date for each name at each step
- now I want to create a new table in which I only get this earliest date column for each step for each name in one row
- however when I try to do that I keep on getting multiple rows for each earliest date
- what I want is to combine the multiple rows for each name into one row so I can easily compare the earliest dates
Below you can find some pictures to illustrate what I am trying to do. The code I used to get the Current Situation example is the following:
table 2 = summarizecolumns( table1[name] , table1[earliestdatestep1], table1[earliestdatestep2],table1[earliestdatestep3])
It seems as an easy thing to do but I got stuck on it. Help would be greatly appreciated!

@TimPowerBi2 ,
I hope this might help you.
Calculated Table =
SUMMARIZE (
'Table',
'Table'[Name],
"Step 1", MAX ( 'Table'[Step 1] ),
"Step 2", MAX ( 'Table'[Step 2] ),
"Step 3", MAX ( 'Table'[Step 3] )
)
Thanks,
Arul

This worked! Thank you so much highly appreciated.
I believe you cn try creating your calculated table and column into PowerQuery-equivalent version, and then continue do the data processing in PowerQuery until your data meets your need.
Dear @TimPowerBi2 ,
Can you please try this below snap way over the Power Query level.
Hope this have good on it.
