If MAX or LASTDATE then 1

This should be really easy but I'm not getting it to work for reasons I can't figure out. 

 

I have a dataset with different dates (DATE column) and I want to add a new column that puts a 1 on the rows with the max/last date on it otherwise 0.

Hi @dwel0120 
Please try this measure:

 

Last Date =
VAR _MaxDate =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( FB_TOP_CONTRIBUTORS[DATE] ), ALL ( FB_TOP_CONTRIBUTORS ) )
RETURN
    IF ( FB_TOP_CONTRIBUTORS[date] = _Maxdate, 1, 0 )

 

output:
