Direct Query Calculate LastDate issue
I am creating a visual for a Direct Query. I need to return the LastDate from my Date Dimension table (Rolling Calendar) and pass that into my CALCULATE Function to sum the TotalDrawers for that date. I keep getting a locking error. When I check it in DAXStudio it indicated there is an issue with LASTDATE. Seems that this has to do with the LASTDATE being used in a CALCULATE function on a Direct Query. Any thoughts on how to resolve the issue?

I tried using MAX but then I get the error that is needs a Column Reference.
shippen70 , Try like
WTDDrawers =
VAR SelectDate =
maxx(allselected('Rolling Calendar'), 'Rolling Calendar'[Calendar Date] )
VAR DayNumberOfWeek =
WEEKDAY ( SelectDate, 1 )
//VAR TestFirstDate = DATEADD ( SelectDate, ( -1 * DayNumberOfWeek ) + 1, DAY )
RETURN
CALCULATE (
SUM ( _AE1WeekComp[TotalDrawers] ),
DATESBETWEEN (
'Rolling Calendar'[Calendar Date],
DATEADD ( SelectDate, ( -1 * DayNumberOfWeek ), DAY ),
SelectDate
)
)I did no check formula logic
