Latest text value - fixed on customer

Hi all

I'm very new to PowerBI and I'm trying to move my Tableau dashboards over, however I'm extremely stuck and none of the questions/answers on the forum have helped so far.

I need to add a column showing the last person who contacted a company.

for example - the table looks like this....

Date	Customer	Contacted by
01/03/2021	Smiths	Sally
28/02/2021	Smiths	John
12/02/2021	Hammonds	Sally
02/03/2021	Smiths	Peter
22/01/2021	Hammonds	John
14/11/2020	Cartwrights	Peter
03/03/2020	Cartwrights	Hannah
21/01/2021	Hammonds	Keith

The results should be....

Date	Customer	Contacted by	Last contacted by
01/03/2021	Smiths	Sally	Peter
28/02/2021	Smiths	John	Peter
12/02/2021	Hammonds	Sally	Sally
02/03/2021	Smiths	Peter	Peter
22/01/2021	Hammonds	John	Sally
14/11/2020	Cartwrights	Peter	Peter
03/03/2020	Cartwrights	Hannah	Peter
21/01/2021	Hammonds	Keith	Sally

I've tried.....

Last Contacted by = LASTNONBLANKVALUE('Table'[Date],MAX('Table'[Contacted By]))

but this just puts the last contact person for each line (not fixed on the customer)

My working Tableu formula is: {FIXED [Date] = {FIXED [Customer] : MAX ([Date])} then [Contacted by] end)}

Thanks in advance

Michsara , Try like

Last Contacted by = calculate(LASTNONBLANKVALUE('Table'[Date],MAX('Table'[Contacted By])),allexpect('Table','Table'[customer]))

Last Contacted by = calculate(LASTNONBLANKVALUE('Table'[Date],MAX('Table'[Contacted By])),filter(allselected('Table'),'Table'[customer] = max('Table'[customer])))

That's fantastic - the first option worked. Thank you so much 😊
