Find a LAST ORDER DATE

Hi everyboy,

I have a problem. Now it is a big problem. I went through all threads about DAX & PowerBI and I cannot find a correct solution.
What is the point?

I have a dataset to analyze. It includes:
- "Article" table where different articles (items) are stored
- "Warehouse Documents" table where each order has its own counterpart; each order can have more than one article on it of course
- "Position of Warehouse Documents" table that has connection to "Warehouse Documents" and "Article" so I can find for instance on which orders one single article has been sold and etc

So, I have already made a different measures, calculations and so on and it works quite fine.
But, I am stucked with one info: I would like to add to my dashboard - the DATE of the LAST ORDER for ARTICLE

 

Let's get the example:

"ARTICLE" table:

Product_NameTradeIndexUniquePriceCategoryID_Article
Item_11234567112,45€A11
Item_21234567223,56€A22
Item_31234567310,00€B13
Item_41234567421,50€B14
Item_5123456758,56€B15
Item_612345676100,00€A26

 

"WAREHOUSE DOCUMENTS" table:

 DateID_WAREHOUSE_DOCUMENTS
Order_1    12.04.2010     1
Order_2    18.07.2011     2
Order_3    21.03.2015     3
Order_4    22.05.2019     4
Order_5    18.03.2020     5

 

"Position Warehouse Documents" table:

 

ID_Position_Warehouse_DocumentsID_Warehouse_DocumentsDateID_ArticleQuantityPrice
1112.04.2010210100€
2112.04.2010120199€
3218.07.2011214140€
4218.07.2011310150€
5218.07.201111200€
6321.03.20152250€
7321.03.201541020€
8321.03.20153510€

 

 

As you see ARTICLE "Item_2" has been sold three times and I would like to get the DATE of the LAST ORDER so in this case would be : 21.03.2015
For Item_1 it would be 18.07.2011 and for Item_3 = 21.03.2015

 

Can you tell me how I can calculate it?

I have already tried different functions: CALCULATE, CALCULATETABLE, ADDCOLUMNS and many others but to be honest I don't know which one I should use. Honestly I am lost here ... I hope the example is clear.
If not please let me know. Thanks in advance for any suggestions - it shoulnd't be so tricky 😞

 

BR,

Hey,

 

You can just use the measure

Measure 3 = MAX('Position Warehouse Documents'[Date])
