Card Showing Total Value Rather than Latest Value

Hi all,

 

I have written the below measure. When I put the measure into a card visual I recieve the total value rather than the value for the latest. How can I update my measure to show the value for the latest date?

 

Absense in Last 12 Months =

VAR maxsickdate = MAX(absense[snapshotdate])

VAR minsickdate = EOMONTH(maxsickdate,-12)

VAR maxdate = MAX(SIP[snapshotdate])

VAR mindate = EOMONTH(maxdate,-12)

VAR SicknessCount = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Sickness[employeenumber]),Sickness[snapshotdate] <= maxsickdate, Sickness[snapshotdate] > minsickdate)

VAR TotalHeadcount = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(SIP[employeenumber]),REMOVEFILTERS('Calendar'),SIP[snapshotdate] <= maxdate, SIP[snapshotdate]>mindate)

RETURN

CALCULATE(DIVIDE(SicknessCount,TotalHeadcount))

a bit strange, but try like:

 
Absense in Last Date =
VAR maxsickdate = MAX(absense[snapshotdate])
VAR SicknessCount = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Sickness[employeenumber]),Sickness[snapshotdate] = maxsickdate)
VAR TotalHeadcount = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(SIP[employeenumber]),REMOVEFILTERS('Calendar'),SIP[snapshotdate] = maxsickdate)
RETURN
DIVIDE(SicknessCount,TotalHeadcount))

@Anonymous Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
