    To transform your calculated columns into a measure, you need to adjust your DAX code to handle row context within a measure. Here's how you can create a measure that identifies the latest version of data dynamically:

    LatestValueMeasure = 
VAR MaxDatePerProject = 
    CALCULATE(
        MAX(ProjectsTable[Metric Date]),
        ALLEXCEPT(ProjectsTable, ProjectsTable[Project Name])
    )
RETURN
IF(
    MAX(ProjectsTable[Metric Date]) = MaxDatePerProject,
    1,
    0
)
