How to aggregate some columns based on values in other columns

I'm still pretty new to Power BI so apologies if this is super basic. I've got a table with data like this:

Project IDTask IDDate
12314/1/22
12356/1/22
123297/1/22

 

I'm trying to show in Power BI a table that looks like this:

ProjectTask 1Go Lives
1234/1/227/1/22

 

In other words, for each project show the latest date associated with Task 1 and the latest date associated with any go live task. The go live tasks have predefined IDs. I've been using a Matrix visualization, and I can pivot the task IDs I want with the "show values as column headers" option. But I'm not sure how to write the DAX I presume I'd need to create a new "Go Lives" column with the latest associated date for the given tasks.

 

Thanks!

But I'm a little bit confused whay you want to use a matrix visual. As in this case you would need a table visual. Then you can use

Task 1 Date =
MINX ( FILTER ( TableName, TableName[Task ID] = 1 ), TableName[Date] )
Go Live Date =
MAXX (
    FILTER ( TableName, TableName[Task ID] IN { 29, 30, 31 } ),
    TableName[Date]
)

Hi @Anonymous 
Do you have a list of the go live task id's in a seperate table or you would like to hard code these id's?

Hi @tamerj1 , I can just hardcode them. There are only a handful.

Ahh, thanks! I had thought that to pivot it I needed to use a matrix but this seems easier. I'll give it a try in a bit.
