Display only the first date for status changes only but not as a measure

[Anonymous]

I have a measure which works perfectly as a measure.
However, I would like to filter by date using my slicer and unfortunately slicers can't use measures.
Is there any way for me to achieve the same outcome but being able to add to my slicer filter?

This is the measure that I have which works fine:

Measure x =
VAR __m = CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Test Scripts'[Changed Date]),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Test Scripts', 'Test Scripts'[Work Item Id], 'Test Scripts'[State] ) )
RETURN IF ( MAX ( 'Test Scripts'[Changed Date] ) == __m, __m )

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The measure ignores when the TAG changes (or anything else changes), except for Status ("State") changes and then only gets the FIRST DATE when the Status was changed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Thank you in advance for your help

@Anonymoususe this:

FirstChange =
CALCULATE (
    MIN ( 'Test Scripts'[Changed Date] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Test Scripts' ),
        [ID] = EARLIER ( [ID] )
            && [Status] = EARLIER ( 'Test Scripts'[Status] )
    )
)

Hi @Anonymous ,

You could use "Group By" feature to get the minimum date in the query editor.

Here is the result.

Here is my test file for your reference.

@Anonymous , with description input and the expected output, is not clear.

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format?

@amitchandak Sure. Find the sample tables below.

BEFORE

ID	TAG	Team	Status	Changed Date
007	Good	Team A	New	01/06/2020
007	Bad	Team B	New	02/06/2020
007	Neutral	Team B	Closed	02/06/2020
007	Bad	Team B	Closed	03/06/2020

AFTER

ID	TAG	Team	Status	Changed Date
007	Good	Team A	New	01/06/2020
007	Neutral	Team B	Closed	02/06/2020

@Anonymous , Us This in place of change date in after

LASTNONBLANKVALUE(Table[Changed Date], Min(Table[Status]))

Measures update based on slicer selection, columns don't. Looks like you don't have any measures or slicers affecting this measure, so you could try doing this as a calculated column using EARLIER instead of variable. You'll need to probably use RANKX as well and will then need to filter out the later changes so you only have the date for the earliest change.

Is there a reason you can't use a DimDate table and relate that to Changed Date to achieve the same results?
