Changing from Today to specific Date

Hello, 

 

I'm new here and just beginning with Dax. I currently have formula that works well, but I'm having to make some adjustments to work with a test file. The test file data ends on January 18, 2018. Here is the formula: 

 

Average Days to Sell = divide([Inventory Valuation (Today)],[Last 365 Days COGS Amount]) * 365

 

 

 

How would I write this to work with the final day being January 18, 2018 instead of (Today)?

Perhaps:

 

Measure =

  VAR __Max = MAX('Table'[Date])

  VAR __Value = LOOKUP('Table'[Inventory Value],'Table'[Date],__Max)

RETURN

  divide(__Value),[Last 365 Days COGS Amount]) * 365
