Count of table using Measure
I am wanting to find the COUNT of dates in a column using a measure that finds which date occurs most as I am wanting to count how many times this date occurs in the table.
| Date |
| 01/01/2023 |
| 05/01/2023 |
| 05/01/2023 |
| 06/01/2023 |
Most Frequent Date: 05/01/2023
Result: 2
I have the current measure that I am wanting to work off
For the last measure which isn't working, you'll probably have to put the result of the first measure in a variable and use the variable in the Filter, e.g. var _mostCommon = [Measure - Max Date Count] then pass _MostCommon to the FILTER clause

First, create a date dimension table and establish a relationship to your fact table. Then create a measure to count the rows of the date column in your fact table. Then in your visual, add the date column from your date dimension table, and the measure of counted rows.

This is the sample data I used:
This is my date count measure:
DateCount = COUNT( EWTransactions[Date] )Then I created a new measure to rank the date based on number of occurences of that date:
