Power BI DAX function min

Let us see how we can find the minimum value using the Power bi DAX Min function in Power Bi.

In this example, we will use vehicle data to find the minimum price value of the car presented in the car’s table data.

The Power BI MIN function takes a column or two expressions as an argument and returns the smallest value.

Power Bi Syntax for Minimum function :

MIN(<column>)

• Open the Power Bi desktop, and load the data into the desktop. Once the data has been loaded, select the new measure option from the ribbon under the Home tab and apply the below-mentioned formula.

Minimum Value = MIN(Cars[Price])

Where,

1. Minimum Value = New Measure name
2. Cars = Table Name
3. Price = Existing column name

• Now from the visualization, select the Table visual and card visual in the report section.
• In the table visual and then drag and drop car names, car models, and price field values
• In the card visual drag and drop the created measure value to display the minimum price value in the Power BI report.
• The screenshot below displays the minimum price value in the card visual in the Power Bi report.

This is how to find the minimum value using the Power bi DAX Min function in Power Bi.

Power bi Dax minx

Here we will see how we can use the Power BI DAX Minx function and calculate the minimum value in Power Bi

In this example, I have used the Team Appearances table mentioned below to calculate the team which has a minimum losing time count in matches.

• Initially, load the data into the Power Bi desktop, and from the ribbon select the new measure option and apply the below-mentioned formula.

Minx = MINX('Team Apperances','Team Apperances'[Losing Time Count])

Where,

1. Minx = New Measure name
2. Team Appearances = Table Name
3. Losing Time Count = Existing column name

• Select the Table visual and card visual in the report section from the visualizations.
• In the table visual and then drag and drop the Teams, Winning Time Count, and Losing Time Count field values

• The screenshot below, display the minimum value of the losing time count using the Power BI Dax Minx function.

This is how to use the Power BI DAX Minx function and calculate the minimum value in Power Bi.

Power bi Dax Min vs Minx

Power Bi Dax Min	Power Bi Dax Minx
Power Bi Dax Min function returns the smallest value in a column or the smallest value between two scalar expressions.	Power Bi Dax Minx function returns the smallest value for an expression evaluated for each row in a table
Syntax: MIN(<Column>) , MIN(<expression1>, <expression2>)	Syntax : MINX(<table>,<expression>)

Power bi Dax min if

Let us see how we can use the Power BI DAX Min function and calculate the minimum value in Power Bi

In this example, I have used the Team Appearances table to calculate the team minimum value using the if condition, if the value matches with the min value it displays the true value in the card visual else it displays the false value.

• Open the Power BI desktop and load the data into it, select the new measure option from the ribbon and apply the below-mentioned formula.

Min If = 
   VAR minimumvalue = MIN('Team Apperances'[Losing Time Count])
      RETURN
IF('Team Apperances'[Minx] = minimumvalue,TRUE(),FALSE())

Where,

1. Min If = New Measure name
2. minimum value = Variable name
3. Team Appearances = Table Name
4. Losing Time Count = Existing column name

• Select the Table visual and card visual in the report section from the visualizations.
• In the table visual and then drag and drop the Teams, Winning Time Count, and Losing Time Count field values
• In the card visual drag and drop the created measure value to display a true or false value based on the minimum value.
• The screenshot below, display the minimum value of the losing time count using the Power BI Dax Min function.

• If the applied condition didn’t match the minimum count then it displays the false value as below:
