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.
