Create a table using latest available value
Hello everyone! I have two tables one is factual and the other is dimensional and I need to create a relationship based on the "Dojo" where the employees worked. In this scenario My dimension (Latest worked dates) table will not filter the factual (worked dates) table, on the contrary, I need to look up some values from the factual (worked dates) table. See example below.
One of the solution I come up for this is creating a bridge table, either by dax or query formula, but I have not been able to solve it yet.
Please help me providing solutions on how to create an additional table that turns my dimension table into a factual table that contains only the latest value found.
One of the tables is a factual table (working days), that refreshes every week, therefore It may update employee working dojo / attributes from one week another like this
| Employee ID | Dojo Worked | Working Date |
| 1122 | Mcdojo | 29-Jan-23 |
| 2233 | Mcdojo | 29-Jan-23 |
| 1122 | DojoElite | 5-Feb-23 |
| 2233 | Mcdojo | 5-Feb-23 |
| 1122 | Mcppato | 12-Feb-23 |
On the other table, I have a factual table including only one entry for each employee that contains the last date they worked.
| Employee ID | Last Date Worked | Last Dojo Worked |
| 1122 | 6-Feb-23 | ? |
Desired Factual Table
| Employee ID | Latest Dojo Worked | Latest Date Available |
| 2233 | Mcdojo | 5-Feb-23 |
| 1122 | Mcppato | 12-Feb-23 |
Hope this helps: However, in your data
Employee ID Latest Dojo Worked Latest Date Available 2233 Mcdojo 29-Jan-23 ------> this is incorrect the latest is 5-Feb-23 1122 Mcppato 12-Feb-23 Instead of MAX(), you may use MIN()
