Showing Earliest Date

Hello!

I have a report pulling from our database regarding purchase orders and when they are received. Since a purchase order can contain many items that get received on different days, I'd like to have a way to only pull the latest day. Right now, It's showing each receipt on its' own line. 

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Try to disable 'Show data with no item' and use LastDate()

Measure = LASTDATE('Table'[PurchRec.Date])

Or

Measure 2 = 
CALCULATE(
    MAX('Table'[PurchRec.Date]),
    ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[PurchRec.Date])
)

Below is a screenshot of what I'm looking at. Each Job has multiple items that have to be received. Instead of showing me all of the dates where the job was received, I just want the last one.

When I use the LASTDATE function, it gives me the same result:

When I use the MAX function, it shows me this, which doesn't make sense because nothing can be recieved in the future:

Hi @Anonymous 

 

You can summarize your table to show the latest day for each PO, or you can use MAX or LASTDATE to find that. It depends on your data model and the result you are looking for.

 

Can you share a sample of your data and result?
