Good afternoon,
I am working on a project where I am trying to add the total balances of id numbers. In order to get this, I need to pull the last balance posted from our files from several id numbers and add them together. I spent a great deal of time researching and came across a couple of ideas, like using LastNonBlank or date, but they aren't working. Here is some context using some dummy numbers.
ID DATE BALANCE
1 2/13/17 500.00
1 2/13/17 450.00
2 2/09/17 100.00
3 2/13/17 700.00
3 2/13/17 300.00
4 2/10/17 1500.00
So what I am trying to accomplish is to write a formula telling PBI to take the most recent balance for each ID and add them together (i.e. (ID 1) 450 + (ID2) 100 + (ID 3) 300 + (ID 4) 1500.00. I've listed the formula I've come up with below.
CALCULATE(SUM( 'TABLE'[Balance]), LASTNONBLANK('TABLE'[Date], SUM(TABLE[Balance])))
When I tried this, it appeared to add up all the numbers and not just the specific ones I am triyng to pull. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @tespinal,
In the resource data, there are multiple transaction in one day. But the time is different, so you want to get the lasted transaction and sum them, right? If it is, I try to reproduce using the sample data.
Then create a measure using the following formula.
Result = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[BALANCE]),FILTER(Table1,Table1[DATE]=CALCULATE(MAX(Table1[DATE]),ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[ID]))))
Create a card used to display the result, please see the following screenshot, it returns the expected result.

The records need a field that uniquely defines "latest". I don't see that. One cannot rely on the order that they appear - you could add I think a Key field column as part of the Query Editor that will autonumber - - at least I think so I've never tried.....
I'm trying to write it as a measure so I can display it on a card visual.
I think I managed to get it working using the following formula.
Latest Balance = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[BALANCE]),LASTNONBLANK('Table'[DATE],1))
I used a Multi Row Card with just [ID] and [Latest Balance] in the fields.
I also adjusted your data. For [ID] 1 & 3 you had two values with the same date. So I adjusted 1 to be earlier.
I appreciate the feedback, but the results from the formula same as the ones I got from my original formula. The balances may have the same date because they can change throughout the day, like a checking account. It's like if I have 3 checking accounts and I do multiple transactions throughout the day, I am looking to get the sum of all 3 account balances as of right now.
