Checking for max value in summarized table DAX help

Hi everyone. I have data that looks like this:

 

TestCaseIDConfigurationRunDate
1108-04-2021 11:10:10
1108-04-2021 12:10:10
1208-04-2021 13:10:10
2108-04-2021 08:08:08
2208-04-2021 09:09:09
2208-04-2021 10:10:10
3108-04-2021 09:09:09
3108-04-2021 11:11:11
3208-04-2021 10:10:10

 

I have a table in my PBI report where the user can select test cases, and whatever configurations they want through slicers. I want the table to only display the latest test run within the configuration. 

 

So I ideally would create a calculated column that checks whether the current test/configuration is the last one for the configuration. The data output should look something like this:

 

TestCaseIDConfigurationRunDate FilterCheck
1108-04-2021 11:10:10Remove
1108-04-2021 12:10:10Keep
1208-04-2021 13:10:10Keep
2108-04-2021 08:08:08Keep
2208-04-2021 09:09:09Remove
2208-04-2021 10:10:10Keep
3108-04-2021 09:09:09Remove
3108-04-2021 11:11:11Keep
3208-04-2021 10:10:10Keep

 

This is the code I have so far:

LatestTest =
VAR MaxDateForCombo =
//returns a table with a combined column from test ID and Config name and the maximum (latest) test result.

SUMMARIZE (
ADDCOLUMNS (
'Test Results',
"TestIDConfig", CONCATENATE ( 'Test Results'[TestcaseId], 'Test Results'[Configuration] ),
"RunDate2", MAX ( 'Test Results'[RunDate] )
),
[TestIDConfig],
"MaxRunDate", MAX ( 'Test Results'[RunDate] )
)

//the current row context date
Var Currentdate = 'Test Results'[RunDate]

// If the current date is smaller than the maximum date for the selected combinations of runID and config then filter it out.
Var FilterCheck = IF(Currentdate<


,"Filter out","Keep in")
RETURN
FilterCheck


I am having problems with the filtercheck part. I thought about using lookupvalue on the summarized table to see if rundate2 was bigger than rundate, but I can't figure it out. can someone help me out to get to my desired result? 🙂

Hi, @KasperBI 

 

Please correct me if I wrongly understood your question.

 

Please check the below Calculated Column and the link down below, which is the sample pbix file.

 

Latest Test Column =
VAR lastnonblankcheck =
CALCULATE (
LASTNONBLANK ( 'Test Results'[RunDate], MAX ( 'Test Results'[Configuration] ) ),
ALLEXCEPT (
'Test Results',
'Test Results'[TestCaseID],
'Test Results'[Configuration]
)
)
RETURN
IF ( 'Test Results'[RunDate] = lastnonblankcheck, "Keep", "Remove" )
