Find earliest Date from column with possible repeated row value

[fmatioli06]

Hi All,

I would really appreciate any DAX help I can get with this.

I am trying to create a calculated column that finds the first date when the "Goal Met" column shows "completed" or in other words, when the "Expected" matches or exceeds the "Budget Need".

I have tried: Column = CALCULATE ( MIN ( Table[Date] ), Table[Goal Met] = "Completed" ), but because there could be multiple rows with "completed", I can't figure out a way to get the first date that the "Goal Met" column shows "completed".

Below is an example of what I mean, with the outcome I am trying to get to in red

ID	Name	Date	Expected	Budget Need	Goal Met	Date of Goal Met
200000	Bob Jones	11/9/2016	$3,976.95	$6,500.00
200000	Bob Jones	12/13/2016	$4,601.96	$6,500.00
200000	Bob Jones	1/11/2017	$5,396.33	$6,500.00
200000	Bob Jones	2/14/2017	$5,429.14	$6,500.00
200000	Bob Jones	3/15/2017	$6,500.00	$6,500.00	Completed	3/15/2017
200000	Bob Jones	4/11/2017	$6,600.00	$6,500.00	Completed	3/15/2017

Thank you for the quick responses.

One thing I forgot to mention is that the table includes multiple IDs and multiple lines for each ID, so using FIRSTNONBLANK like you all suggested gives me the earliest date of the first time the row with "completed" happened, so if I want to filter and look at a specific ID they all end up having the same "date of Goal met". 

I need the earliest date for each unique ID. Does that make sense?

Thank you again!!

Give this a shot

Date of Goal Met =
VAR First_Date =
    CALCULATE (
        FIRSTNONBLANK ( Table1[Date], 1 ),
        FILTER ( ALLEXCEPT ( Table1, Table1[ID] ), Table1[Goal Met] = "Completed" )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( Table1[Goal Met] = "Completed", First_Date )

Thanks Zubair,

That's still not giving me the Date for each ID, it populated all the ID's with the same date which is the earliest first occurence of "Completed".

Reading your formula it makes sense that it would work but there's something missing that I can't seem to figure out.

It works when I add dummy ID to your sample data

wow that's great, thank you Zubair!

I think my issue is with the data, I need to dig deeper, but this will work!

Thank for taking the time to help me!!

Try the following Dax and see if it get the results you want

Column = IF(Table[Goal Met]="Completed",CALCULATE(FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[Date],1),ALLEXCEPT(Table,Table[Goal Met])))

Don't have time at the moment for full solution but looks like you want FIRSTNONBLANK.
