Hi @ArulBhargavR,
So you mean you only want the first match condition record return 1 and other records return 0? If that is the case , you can try to use the following measure formula and I add variable and condition to exclude not match scenarios:
Invoice Count =
VAR currDate =
MAX ( Calendar[Date] )
VAR _prevCount =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( Invoice[posting date] ),
FILTER (
ALLSELECTED ( Invoice ),
[posting date] < currDate
&& [outstanding invoice] = "Yes"
),
VALUES ( Invoice[customer] )
)
RETURN
IF (
_prevCount = 0,
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( Invoice[document number] ),
FILTER (
ALLSELECTED ( Invoice ),
[posting date] <= currDate
&& [outstanding invoice] = "Yes"
),
VALUES ( Invoice[customer] )
)
) + 0

Hi @Anonymous,
Thank you for showing intrest, I have tried the solution presented earlier..after adding customer to the filter function, I have been able to get the total count of "Yes" for said category.
however, I want to identify the first instance of "Yes" for each customer based on the earliest date.

HI @ArulBhargavR,
You can use the following measure formula to get the outstanding invoice count based on 'customer' and 'posting date' group:
Invoice Count =
VAR currDate =
MAX ( Calendar[Date] )
RETURN
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( Invoice[document number] ),
FILTER (
ALLSELECTED ( Invoice ),
[posting date] <= currDate
&& [outstanding invoice] = "Yes"
),
VALUES ( Invoice[customer] )
)+0
