Hi all,
I need some help.
I have a table that contains the following fields:
UserID
SiteID
Start Time (UK Date and Time eg. 31/12/2019 09:00)
Finish Time (UK Date and Time eg. 31/12/2019 17:00)
I want to group by the following:
same userID
SiteID
Start Time (Date only)
and identify the earliest date and the latest dates.
Can you help?
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can use GroupBy in power query:
or you can use dax:
Table = ADDCOLUMNS( GROUPBY('Start', 'Start'[UserID], 'Start'[SiteID]), "Min Start", CALCULATE( FIRSTDATE( 'Start'[Start ])), "Max End", CALCULATE( LASTDATE( 'Start'[Finish])))

Table = ADDCOLUMNS( GROUPBY('Start', 'Start'[UserID], 'Start'[SiteID]), "Min Start", CALCULATE( FIRSTDATE( 'Start'[Start ])), "Max End", CALCULATE( LASTDATE( 'Start'[Finish])))
Thanks for reply Nick,
I'm brand new to PowerBI, so how do I get to Power Query?
Also, which of DAX or Power Query is the better choice?
Sorry @Anonymous I'm a buffoon and missed the Edit Query bit!

Lol, no worries 🙂
to use the dax, go to modeling--> New Table
Since these are tables, they only get updated when you refresh the data. Unlike measures, which are updated when they are used ( like in a table). So the choice is yours between dax and power query ( though, that is a really simplified way of thinking about it, but dont want to get into the deeper topics too fast)
