    Hi  Anonymous ,

    I created some data:

    In Excel,

    Sheet1:

    2022.1.1 – 2022.2.28

    Sheet2:

    2022.1.1 – 2022.2.23

    Sheet3:

    2022.1.1 – 2022.2.16

    Here are the steps you can follow:

    1. Create measure.

    Flag1 =
    IF(
    YEAR( MAX('Sheet1'[Date]))=YEAR(MAXX(ALL('Sheet1'[Date]),[Date]))&&MONTH(MAX('Sheet1'[Date]))=MONTH(MAXX(ALL('Sheet1'[Date]),[Date])),1,0
    )
    Flag2 =
    IF(
    YEAR( MAX('Sheet2'[Date]))=YEAR(MAXX(ALL('Sheet2'[Date]),[Date]))&&MONTH(MAX('Sheet2'[Date]))=MONTH(MAXX(ALL('Sheet2'[Date]),[Date])),1,0
    )
    Flag3 =
    IF(
    YEAR( MAX('Sheet3'[Date]))=YEAR(MAXX(ALL('Sheet3'[Date]),[Date]))&&MONTH(MAX('Sheet3'[Date]))=MONTH(MAXX(ALL('Sheet3'[Date]),[Date])),1,0
    )

    2. Put [Flag1] , [Flag2] , [Flag3] in the corresponding Visual - Filter in Page1, Page2, Page3.

    3. When you update to a new date in Excel, you can directly click Refresh, and then Page1, Page2, and Page3 will display the data of the current month on the latest date

    4. Result:

    Update the date to March in Excel, after refreshing, the data for March is displayed in Page1.

     

    Best Regards,
