Filter a table by highest column value

Hello!

 

I have a dataset that is looking something like this:

 

ServerScanid
Server11
Server22
Server3

1

Server1

3

Server2

3

How can I make a DAX query the only filters out the servers in the last Scanid?

 

In this example I would like to return:

ServerScanid
Server13
Server23

    Anonymous I call this the Complex Selector. https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/The-Complex-Selector/td-p/1116633

     

    Basically, create a measure like the following and use it in the Filter pane or you could also do it as a column:

    Measure Selector =
  VAR __Max = MAXX(ALL('Table'),[ScanID])
  VAR __Current = MAX('Table'[ScanID])
RETURN
  IF(__Current = __Max,1,0)


Column Selector
  VAR __Max = MAX('Table'[ScanID])
  VAR __Current = [ScanID]
RETURN
  IF(__Current = __Max,1,0)

    Hi, Anonymous 

    Please check the below, whether it is what you are looking for.

     

     

    ScanID Measure =
    VAR lastscanidoverall =
    MAXX ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Scanid] )
    VAR currentscanid =
    MAX ( 'Table'[Scanid] )
    RETURN
    IF (
    ISFILTERED ( 'Table'[Server] ),
    IF ( lastscanidoverall = currentscanid, currentscanid )
    )
