DAX Measure addition/change help needed

Good afternoon all,

 

I have the following measure to return the latest task/appointment date, which works brilliantly. 

 

Appointment (ALL) Most Recent =
VAR appttaskdate =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Task[Created_Date] ),
        FILTER ( Task, Task[Created_Date] < TODAY () ),
        Task[task_record_type] <> "System Generated Task"
    )
VAR apptdate =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Appointments[appointment_date] ),
        FILTER ( Appointments, Appointments[appointment_date] < TODAY () ),
        Appointments[status] = "Completed"
    )
RETURN
    IF ( apptdate > appttaskdate, apptdate, appttaskdate )

 

 

Based of this measure, I now also need to return Task[task_record_type]. Any ideas how I might do this? Would a second measure be best, or modify this measure?

@amitchandak Thanks for your time with this. I think you are close, however I neglected to mention there is Task[task_record_type] and also Appointment[Record Type] to consider.

Appointment (ALL) Most Recent =
VAR appttaskdate =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Task[Created_Date] ),
        FILTER ( TaskTask[Created_Date] < TODAY () ),
        Task[task_record_type] <> "System Generated Task"
    )
VAR apptdate =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Appointments[appointment_date] ),
        FILTER ( AppointmentsAppointments[appointment_date] < TODAY () ),
        Appointments[status] = "Completed"
    )
RETURN
    IF ( apptdate > appttaskdate, Task[task_record_type], Appointment[Record Type] )



Hope that makes sense. 

I have shared on my google drive.

Thanks!!

There's a lot of data there which in turn is causing confusion.  Could you share a smaller dataset and show the expected result.

@Auski , Try like

 

CALCULATE (
Lastnonblankvalue ( Task[Created_Date], max(Task[task_record_type] )),
FILTER ( Task, Task[Created_Date] < TODAY () ),
Task[task_record_type] <> "System Generated Task"
)
