DAX help: most recent event

‎01-30-2024 03:35 PM

I am trying to find the most recent event in my PBI. 
Here are my column names and I need to find the last status update under "Last Event Description". I created a new column that combines the last event day and time. 

Customer Confirmation NumberDelivery Confirmation NumberManifest DateReceive DateLast Event DateLast Event TimeLast Event DescriptionZip or Postal Code

 

Please let me know how I should go about getting this most recent status. 

I tried to use the following but its not pulling back the latest status:

Last Status =
VAR CustomerNumber = 'DHL Status'[Delivery Confirmation Number]

RETURN
maxx(FILTER(ALL('DHL Status'), 'DHL Status'[Delivery Confirmation Number] = CustomerNumber),
    'DHL Status'[Last Event Description])

Hi,

This M code works

let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Data"]}[Content],
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(Source, {"Customer Confirmation Number", "Delivery Confirmation Number"}, {{"Count", each Table.Max(_,{"Last Event Date","Last Event Time"})}}),
    #"Expanded Count" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Count", {"Manifest Date", "Receive Date", "Last Event Date", "Last Event Time", "Last Event Description"}, {"Manifest Date", "Receive Date", "Last Event Date", "Last Event Time", "Last Event Description"}),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Count",{{"Last Event Date", type date}, {"Last Event Time", type time}})
in
    #"Changed Type"

Hope this helps.

Hi @MJAGUSIAK ,

 

You can try formula like below:

Last Status = 
VAR CustomerNumber =
    MAX ( 'DHL Status'[Delivery Confirmation Number] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        MAXX (
            FILTER (
                ALL ( 'DHL Status' ),
                'DHL Status'[Delivery Confirmation Number] = CustomerNumber
            ),
            'DHL Status'[Last Event Date] + 'DHL Status'[Last Event Time]
        ),
        FILTER (
            'DHL Status',
            'DHL Status'[Delivery Confirmation Number] = CustomerNumber
        )
    )

This formula works for giving me the last date and time that is in the data. 
I need to use the Delivery Confirmation Number and look for the most recent date and then take that most recent date and display whatever is in the column for Last Event Description. 
Basically, I am wanting to override any previously seen status codes and only use the most recent status in the data for that particular customer tracking number.

Hi Ashish, 

My dev team changed the file for me to use. I need to use the tracking number and the activity date to see the most up to date activity code. I need to see how the M code would be for these columns because I keep getting errors when trying to use the code from above and just insert it into the m code with changing the needed names:

 

 

Warehouse CodeClient NameCarrier CodeShip DateTracking NumberError Desc from CarrierProcess flagActivity CodeActivity Date
73011KS DFW900000112024/02/021ZR637F60107746480 FD20240205

 

Here is my M code that works right now but is not sorted:
let
Source = SharePoint.Files("https://pfsweb0.sharepoint.com/sites/CarrierTracking/", [ApiVersion = 15]),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each ([Folder Path] = "https://pfsweb0.sharepoint.com/sites/CarrierTracking/Web Focus reports/")),
#"Filtered Hidden Files1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Filtered Rows", each [Attributes]?[Hidden]? <> true),
#"Invoke Custom Function1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Filtered Hidden Files1", "Transform File (3)", each #"Transform File (3)"([Content])),
#"Renamed Columns1" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Invoke Custom Function1", {"Name", "Source.Name"}),
#"Removed Other Columns1" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Renamed Columns1", {"Source.Name", "Transform File (3)"}),
#"Expanded Table Column1" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Other Columns1", "Transform File (3)", Table.ColumnNames(#"Transform File (3)"(#"Sample File (3)"))),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Table Column1",{{"Source.Name", type text}, {"Warehouse Code", Int64.Type}, {"Client Name", type text}, {"Carrier Code", Int64.Type}, {"Ship Date", type date}, {"Tracking Number", type text}, {"Error Desc from Carrier", type any}, {"Process flag", type text}, {"Activity Code", type text}, {"Activity Date", Int64.Type}}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Changed Type",{"Source.Name"})
in
#"Removed Columns"

It should pull back the data where it is showing only a unique value for Delivery Confirmation Number with the most recent "Last date and time" showing the "last Event Description"

Hi,

"Last Event Description" is a column with text entries.  So what do you mean by "Find the last status update"? [from your first post]

The data will have entries with duplicates of Delivery Confirmation Numbers whenever the status of the Last Event Description changes. I need to use the Delivery Confirmation Number and look for the most recent date and then take that most recent date and display whatever is in the column for Last Event Description. 
Basically, I am wanting to override any previously seen status codes and only use the most recent status in the data for that particular customer tracking number. 

 

So if there are duplicate numbers then i need to use the most recent entry to display and use for calculations.

Your VAR CustomerNumber returns a table.  You may be missing the aggregation function.

 

A simple way would be to use TOPN(1) and CONCATENATEX.
