    Hi:

    I hope this does it for you. I'm attaching file (AdventureWorks).

    This file has three separate years of sales data in a folder, whicg is combined.

    Notice a calculated column called File Name. *I have kept the source file names in this table. It's easier if your file names contain what you want displayed in the end.

    CC in Sales Table >File Name =
    var right =
    RIGHT(AW_Sales[Source.Name],14)
     You can modify this example to match your file name. Which should be the column that says V5-May with no modifacations.  
    Your measure = MAX(Table[Source Name]) & "-" & FORMAT(TODAY(),"YY"))
    This result should be V5-MAY-22.  V5-MAY is already a name you have in your table.
    My Measure:
    Version = MAX(AW_Sales[File Name])
     
    Result:

     

    return
    LEFT(RIGHT(AW_Sales[Source.Name],14),10)
     
     
    There are other ways via power query to do this but I'm showing in DAX. I hpe this solves your question.

      This is the data model master table contains all dimension values and the sales table is a fact table

       

      This is the fact table here I will append every version of data in this particular table, I have a data of V5- May -2021 to v4- April-2022

       

      After I had created a version flag so based on this report will understand the max of version

       

      And user want to see the report based on the latest version of data and they want to compare it with previous ones
      Requirment is , After appedning every version table instead of write a static latest version(like which i marked in red)
      I want to add dynamic latest version. And report should automatically  update with latest version.Even the new version of table appending
      Hope it clear please reach out still you have any doubt
