Hello,
I've been wracking my brain around how to best solve this question but haven't came up with something acceptable.
I have 38000 rows of data that documents each time a test is performed and the result of that test. A Test Subject belongs to a Department. A Test Subject may have more than one Test Case, and if a Test Case fails, it will be retested until it passes. I'm looking for a way to know how many test subjects pass a test the first time vs those that needed to be retested.
Thank you for any insight you can provide!
Sample data: (simulated due to sensitivity)
| Department | Test Subject | Test Case | Timestamp | User | Status |
| 1 | 44262 | 100110 | 17/03/2020 | Bill | Passed |
| 2 | 46161 | 100111 | 17/03/2020 | Paige | Failed |
| 1 | 45886 | 100109 | 17/03/2020 | Rob | Passed |
| 1 | 45886 | 100110 | 17/03/2020 | Rob | Failed |
| 2 | 46161 | 100111 | 18/03/2020 | Bob | Ready to Retest |
| 1 | 45886 | 100110 | 18/03/2020 | Bob | Ready to Retest |
| 1 | 45886 | 100110 | 20/03/2020 | Paige | Passed |
| 2 | 46161 | 100111 | 20/03/2020 | Bill | Passed |

Hi @Anonymous
as assumed, there may be two cases:
one:
Measure =
VAR mindate =
CALCULATE (
MIN ( 'Table'[Timestamp] ),
ALLEXCEPT (
'Table',
'Table'[Test Subject],
'Table'[Test Case]
)
)
RETURN
CALCULATE (
MAX ( 'Table'[Status] ),
FILTER (
'Table',
'Table'[Timestamp] = mindate
)
)
Measure 2 =
VAR mincase =
CALCULATE (
MIN ( 'Table'[Test Case] ),
ALLEXCEPT (
'Table',
'Table'[Test Subject]
)
)
RETURN
CALCULATE (
[Measure],
FILTER (
'Table',
'Table'[Test Case] = mincase
)
)
pass a test the first time = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Test Subject]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Measure 2]="Passed"))
needed to be retested = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Test Subject]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Measure]="Failed"))
another:
Measure 3 =
IF (
FIND (
"Failed",
CONCATENATEX (
ALLEXCEPT (
'Table',
'Table'[Test Subject]
),
[Measure],
","
),
1,
0
) >= 1,
"Failed",
"Passed"
)
pass a test the first time2 = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Test Subject]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Measure 3]="Passed"))
needed to be retested 2 = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Test Subject]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Measure 3]="Failed"))

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you very much for your help, @v-juanli-msft. You just made my life a whole lot easier!
@Anonymous , Create a rank on Date under test subject. Then Rank =1 and Status =pass you are looking for
Create a column Rank, refer first article
For Rank Refer these links
