Problem in selecting Max date
Hello,
Can anyone guide me into the right direction here?
I need to add a column to a table, that returns the maximum date value from the table, considering also the current filter selection.
It works perfectly well, when I add it as a measure, but I cannot seem to figure a way to return this value into the table behind to be used in the creation of another custom column.
The setup is pretty basic. A fact table joined to a Dimensional date table.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
HI, Anonymous
calculated column and calculate table can't be affected by any slicer. you could create a measure instead of column.
Notice:
1. Calculation column/table not support dynamic changed based on filter or slicer.
(So MAX(table[column]) will return fixed value)
2. Measure can be affected by filter/slicer, so you can use it to get dynamic summary result.here is reference:

Try the following DAX formula:
Column = CALCULATE(MAX('Calendar'[Date]), ALL('Master Table'))Master Table is my fact table and Calendar is the custome calendar table.
You can change them based on your needs
Hi themistoklis
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, this returns the max of the Calendar date table, without taking the active filtering into consideration.

When you say active filtering do you mean filter on dates or on other fields?
Can you also share the file with us, and a sample of the desired output?
