Create a measure for prior and latest count based on last date

qConsider the below table:

idragdate
101red01/06/2020
101red02/06/2020
103red01/06/2020
103green02/06/2020
103green05/06/2020
101green05/06/2020

 

I'm looking to create two measures:

  1. one that tallies the count of all id except the latest submission date (05/06/2020 in this case)
  2. another that only tallies the latest  date

Desired outcome for 1

count_prior   
 redambergreen
1012  
1031 1

 

Desired outcome for 2

count_latest   
 redambergreen
101  1
103  1

 

Thank you in advance

Here are two expressions that should work.

 

Count Latest =
VAR __maxdate =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[date] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ) )
RETURN
    CALCULATE ( COUNT ( 'Table'[id] ), 'Table'[date] = __maxdate )


Count Prior =
VAR __maxdate =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[date] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ) )
RETURN
    CALCULATE ( COUNT ( 'Table'[id] ), 'Table'[date] < __maxdate )

 

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.
