DAX to find last non blank column in a given row

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a DAX question, my use case is that I have multiple rows and unknown number of columns (could be between 5-15), the data is generated by a Python script with a single input and generates an ouput with varying number of columns.

 

I need to find the last column in a given row that has value in it from a conditional column.

 

Here is an example of the data as reference and the desired output 'Total' which takes the last non blank value from the last 'Child' column that has values.

Appreciate any help with this!

 

Thanks,

Ilya

@Manoj_Nair Thank you very much for the reply!

I guess that will solve the static case if I have a fixed number of columns. What will happen to the code if I have an additional column or less 2 columns? As I wrote, the number of "Childs" is dynamic and I need to find a way to deal with it dynamically in DAX (or M code) 🙂 

 

BR,

Ilya
