Calculate Max Date by Employee Number

Hello - I need to create a filter to determine the max date by employee ID for a table which has the following:

 

RVPRDOLocation  DATETech NameEmployee Number
RVP 1RDO 1Norfolk1/16/2021Doe, John149531
RVP 1RDO 1Norfolk1/18/2021Doe, John149531
RVP 1RDO 1Norfolk12/29/2020Doe, John149531
RVP 1RDO 1Norfolk12/30/2020Doe, John149531
RVP 1RDO 1Norfolk12/31/2020Doe, John149531
RVP 1RDO 2VA Beach1/5/2021Morgan, Terry123456
RVP 1RDO 2VA Beach1/6/2021Morgan, Terry123456
RVP 1RDO 2VA Beach1/7/2021Morgan, Terry123456
RVP 1RDO 2VA Beach1/8/2021Morgan, Terry123456

 

I want to return the max date by employee number.  I tried the following:

Max Date = MAX(MAX('Table','Table'[DATE])) and MAXX(MAX('Table','Table'[DATE]))

 

but that returned the date.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

@ConnieMaldonado use this expression:

 

Max Date = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Employee Number] ) )

I got this to work.  I was able to create a column for the hours and used your code above!  Thanks!  You're the best.

 

Max Date =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Employee Number] ) ,
'Table'[Total Hours] > 0
)

@ConnieMaldonado if Total Hours is a column, make this change

 

Max Date = 
CALCULATE ( 
MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ), 
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Employee Number] ) 
'Table'[Total Hours] > 0
)

Unfortunately, Total Hours is a measure.  I tried the statement above, but of course Total Hours is not allowed in the expression.  I've tried several different things to no avail.

Thank you - one more question.  I have a measure to calculate Total Hours for each employee and would like to include a filter so that I'm calculating the max date for all the records for the employee for which Total Hours > 0.  I have a filter on the visual, so I'm not sure why that doesn't work.  Can I add a filter to the ALLEXCEPT statement?
