I don't know.  Which do you mean?

"I've needed exactly this thing once" - "exactly" is modifying "this thing" - means you 
needed this feature as opposed to some other possibly similar feature.

"I needed this exactly once" - "exactly" is modifying "once" - means you needed it once 
upon a time and then never again.
