After completing his 5 years in Petroleum and Petrochemical Engineering, Hesham wasn’t sure what to do. Wanting a bigger challenge, he decided to come to the UK to do his MBA at Coventry University London Campus. Hesham worked afterwards in a Strategy Consulting company for 1 year helping out Private Equities. Realizing that his favorite part was his minimal exposure to quantitative data, however he was fed up of staying late hours changing rows and columns on Excel and creating maps on Powerpoint. When he came across The Data School he was instantly hooked on the idea of presenting data in a creative and accessible format and found that The Data School is the best place for him to develop his skills, grow and become more creative.

Calculating Minimum Dates Without Using LODs
Usually, to calculate the minimum date you would use an LOD calculation to get
it – the equation would be {Fixed [Dimension] : Min([Date])} and in case you
want to get the minimum date for the whole dataset (to the lowest level of
detail) you would use {Min ([Date])}
