MIN of another calculated Measure (not as an actual table in the data model)

[Anonymous]

Hi PBI Community,

here's my issue:

I created the "Inventory" measure. Down below you can see how one of the visuals (matrix) based on this measure looks ...

Month           Inventory

January	3550
February	2730
March	38551
April	5767
May	4736
June	18336
July	42701
August	277
September	43620
October	17074
November	49214
December	5890

Now, I want to create a new measure to give me the smallest number from that visual. 

The MIN function, however, only accepts references to columns. So, do I really need to create a table first?

Many thanks in advance!

you can create a formula that uses summarize

create table a var and then use that table to get min values.

Hi, sure you can. First you need to generate that table in dax and the use the min. Something like this:

MINX ( 
    SUMMARIZE(
        Table; Table[Month]
        ; "@Inventory"; [InventoryMeasure] )
    ; [@Inventory] 
)

Using SUMMARIZE you can generate a table like the one you show and then use MINX to aggregate the new column [@Inventory].
