Pulling a value from a calculated date
drivas771994 Perhaps:
Measure =
VAR __dateweight = MAX('SPARTA_SCANS2'[Date])
VAR __Athlete = MAX('SPARTA_SCANS2'[Athlete])
VAR __BMDate = FILTER('TESTS',[Athlete] = __Athlete && [Date] >= __dateweight ),[Date])
RETURN
MAXX(FILTER('TESTS',[Athlete] = __Athlete && [Date] = __BMDdate),[Value])Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
Greg,
Here's a sample dataset:
| Athlete Name | Test Date | Test Value | Most Recent Body Mass Date | Most Recent Body Mass |
Athlete 1 | 12/1/2021 | 100 | 12/7/2021 | 64KG |
Athlete 1 | 2/1/2022 | 105 | 2/7/2021 | 66KG |
Athlete 1 | 4/1/2022 | 110 | 3/27/20 | 68KG |
The red highlighted values are my expected output. Testing values exist in my "test" table and my bodyweights exist in my scans table. They don't always occur on the same date and i'd like power bi to find the closest bodyweight to the testing date. Sorry I'm pretty new to this
