Calculate Minimum Across Multiple Tables by Row

Hello, so I have 4 tables that are related by a primary reference number. In each of the 3 tables, there is a column X, Y, and Z. What I would like to do is create a new table that lists the primary references, the minimum value of X across the 4 tables (for that row's primary reference), and do the same for Y and Z. I've been looking around and I can't seem to find a formula or anything that would achieve this. 

 

For instance, if we had:

Table1

Prim.Ref.     X      Y      Z

     1           2.1   3.3   4.2

     2           5.0   4.4   1.3

 

Table2

Prim.Ref.     X      Y      Z

     1           2.2   4.3   4.1

     2           5.5   3.5   1.6

 

Table3

Prim.Ref.     X      Y      Z

     1           2.0   3.5   5.3

     2           5.6   3.7   2.6

 

Then I'd like to create a table

MinTable

Prim.Ref.    mX   mY  mZ

     1           2.0   3.3   4.1

     2           5.0   3.5   1.3

Hi @GSynchro ,

 

Try this 3 measures:

mX = Calculate(Minx(Union('Table 1','Table 2','Table 3'), [X]))
mY = Calculate(Minx(Union('Table 1','Table 2','Table 3'), [y]))
mZ = Calculate(Minx(Union('Table 1','Table 2','Table 3'), [Z]))

My output based on your sample data

Let me know fi this works

Hi,

I suggest you try this approach:

  1. Append data from all 3 Tables into a 4th Table
  2. Select the first column of the 4th Table, right click and select "Unpivot other columns"
  3. To your visual, drag the first column to the row labels, second to the column labels and write this measure

=MIN(Data[Value])

Hope this helps.
