Get an Latest date Records

Lakshmi123 — Tue, 08 Apr 2025 22:44:30 GMT

Hi ,

i created below table by using 3 tables :

dim TableA- state

fact TableB- num (num of records), diff(measure)

dim TableC- date_dt

state	num	diff	date_dt
alabama	1000	100	20-Feb-25
alaska	2000	10	27-Feb-25
alaska	2200	200	27-Mar-25
arizona	1500	100	22-Feb-25
arizona	1000	-500	27-Mar-25
arizona	2000	1000	20-Apr-25
california	3000	100	22-Jan-25
california	4000	1000	22-Feb-25
california	1000	-3000	27-Mar-25
california	5000	4000	20-Apr-25

I need to generate the output shown below, where each state appears only once with its latest date without any repetition.

Could you please guide me on how to create a measure or column in Power BI to achieve this result instead of the above output?

required output:

state	num	diff	date_dt
alabama	1000	100	20-Feb-25
alaska	2200	200	27-Mar-25
arizona	2000	1000	20-Apr-25
california	5000	4000	20-Apr-25

Thank you in advance.

Lakshmi

Hi Lakshmi123 Try this measure:

LatestDateMeasure = CALCULATE( MAX('YourTable'[date_dt]), ALLEXCEPT('YourTable', 'YourTable'[state]) )

Hope this helps!!

Thanks,

Shahariar

Hi,

I tried to create a sample pbix file like below, and please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

I used INDEX dax function in the measures.

INDEX function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn

Num expected result: = VAR _t = CALCULATETABLE ( SUMMARIZE ( 'fact', 'calendar'[Date] ), REMOVEFILTERS ( 'calendar'[Date] ) ) VAR _latestdate = INDEX ( 1, _t, ORDERBY ( 'calendar'[Date], DESC ) ) RETURN IF ( HASONEVALUE ( state[state] ), CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'fact'[num] ), KEEPFILTERS ( 'calendar'[Date] = _latestdate ) ) )

Diff expected result: = VAR _t = CALCULATETABLE ( SUMMARIZE ( 'fact', 'calendar'[Date] ), REMOVEFILTERS ( 'calendar'[Date] ) ) VAR _latestdate = INDEX ( 1, _t, ORDERBY ( 'calendar'[Date], DESC ) ) RETURN IF ( HASONEVALUE ( state[state] ), CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'fact'[diff] ), KEEPFILTERS ( 'calendar'[Date] = _latestdate ) ) )
