    mhanne The reverse date is due to condition with "Earlier". Fixed the DAX as following:

    ProjectCompletionDate = CALCULATE(MAX(Sheet5[Activity Completion Date]),
    FILTER(Sheet5, Sheet5[Project Status]="Complete"
    && Sheet5[Project ID]=EARLIER(Sheet5[Project ID])))

mhanne Please create a calculated column with following DAX:

Project Completion Date = IF(Table3[Project Status]= "Complete", MAX(Table3[Activity Completion Date]))
 
This will give the desired result.

When I do this, it fills the entire row with a random date that is not the completion date for any activities. I need the Project completion date to be unique to the projects based on the last completed activity in each project. So if there are 2 projects, I would want the Project Completed Date Column to say 10/5 for project 1 and 10/8 for project two. Like this: 

 

 

Project IDActivity IDActivity Status

Person Assigned

Activity Completion DateProject StatusProject Completed Date
1aCompleteMike10/1Complete10/5
1bCompleteMike10/3Complete10/5
1aCompleteBrent10/1Complete10/5
1bCompleteBrent10/5Complete10/5
2aCompleteMike10/3Complete10/8
2bCompleteMike10/4Complete10/8
2aCompleteBrent10/3Complete10/8
2bCompleteBrent10/8Complete10/8

 

Thank you so much for your help!

    mhanne  try disabling the Auto date/time intellignece from Options to avoid max date of the year. Please note the DAX does not have ".[Date]". You can try the following DAX :

    ProjectCompletionDate =
    CALCULATE(MAX(Sheet5[Activity Completion Date]),
    FILTER(Sheet5,
    Sheet5[Project ID]<>EARLIER(Sheet5[Project ID])
    && Sheet5[Project Status]="Complete"))

      Here is the formula when I use my own fields:

       
      It is still giving me the same date in every row. When I turned off Auto date/time intelligence it gave me a number rather than a date and would not let me change the Data Type (when I tried the table wouldn't work until I removed the column). 
      I'm also a bit confused by your example, because the completion dates are switched in your table ( Project 1 should be 10/5/2020 and Project 2 should be 10/8/2020)
