Get highest value per group

Hi all. Hope you are able to help me.

 

I have read a similar post about filtering on the highest value per group, but this unfortunately does not solve my issue. Here goes.:

 

I have a data table like the one below. I need to find the file related to the newest year, and get all years associated with that file filtered so they are the only ones left in the data table.

 

File name         Customer number       Year

A                      1000                             2012

A                      1000                             2013

A                      1000                             2014

B                      1000                             2012

B                      1000                             2013

B                      1000                             2014

B                      1000                             2015

 

In this case, file "B" is the one i want all the rows for, since 2015 is the newest year. I.e. wanted result is:

B                      1000                             2012

B                      1000                             2013

B                      1000                             2014

B                      1000                             2015

 

 

How do I do this?

 

PS: I have many thousand rows

    I'm thinking:

     

    Customer = 
    VAR __max = MAXX('Table',[Year])
    VAR __filemax = MAXX(FILTER('Table',[Year]=__max),[File name])
    VAR __table = FILTER('Table',[File name]=__filemax)
    RETURN
    __table
