    Dear DOLEARY85 ,
    I have tried and some old names still because of FIRSTNONBLANK function I think.
    So, I tried with LASTDATE function of Order date and it gave me the expected results.
    Pbix file is not able to share for me.
    So, Please check the screenshot and let me know your thought.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

Yes, both customer id and customer names are the blank
becuase of some manual invoicing.
I'd like to ignore the customers for those invoices. Thanks.

Okay try chaning the new table formula to(i've added in bold the additions to a previous table:

 

New Table =
FILTER(ADDCOLUMNS(
DISTINCT('Table'[CUSTOMER ID]),
"Customer Name", CALCULATE(FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[CUSTOMER NAME],CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[ORDER ID]))))),NOT('Table'[CUSTOMER ID]=""))
 
If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution, Appreciate your Kudos 👍

      Hi,

       

      yeah that looks good, FIRSTNONBLANK should have worked too due to it being filtered by the max order date. Without seeing the PBIX file i'm not sure why that didn't work but if adapting my solution with LASTDATE gives you what you need then that's great. Glad it worked.

       

      happy to help 🙂
