Q: Need a measure to return the values from most recent date of the above table based on my Date selection (Date Table) in the Filter!

example: If I choose any date between: 02-09-2020 to 05-09-2020 in the filter (of Date Table), the measure shall return the values of 01-09-2020 (i.e. 1,50,000 and 2,00,000); similarly if I choose, 27-10-2020 in the filter, I shall get 1,22,500 and 1,33,500 and if I choose, 28-10-2020 in the filter, I shall get 2,00,000 and 3,20,000 against selection.  

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Please try something like a code below.

LastAvailableRevenue =
VAR LastDateInContext =
MAX ( Dates[Date] )
VAR LastAvailableDate =
CALCULATE ( MAX ( Orders[Order Date] ), Orders[Order Date] <= LastDateInContext, REMOVEFILTERS ( Dates[Date] ) )
VAR Result =
CALCULATE ( [Revenue], Dates[Date] = LastAvailableDate )
RETURN
Result

@vkboddapati Try using a Complex Selector: The Complex Selector - Microsoft Power BI Community

 

For example:

Selector = 
    VAR __SelectedDate = MAX('Dates'[Date])
    VAR __CurrentDate = MAX('Table8'[Date])
    VAR __MaxDate = MAXX(FILTER(ALL('Table8'),'Table8'[Date] <= __SelectedDate),[Date])
RETURN
    IF(__CurrentDate = __MaxDate,1,0)
