I have two dates, Date and Date2. I will be using Date column as a filter and the max date value has to be calculated from Date 2.

So when i select December month from Date filter, the max date value should be the december month max date from Date 2.

When i select january and since there is no january date in Date 2 column, it has to consider previous max date which is december max date.

Then when February is selected, the max date should be feb month max date from Date 2 column.

 

Kindly help me with this. This can be achieved either in a measure or a calculated column.

Hi @AishwariyaV ,

Test the measure like the below:

outputvalue = 
var test=MAXX (
FILTER (
ALL ( Sheet1 ),
Sheet1[Date]= max(Sheet1[Date])
&& format(Sheet1[Date],"YYYYMM")>=format(Sheet1[Date2],"YYYYMM")
),
Sheet1[Date2]
)  return CALCULATE(MAX(Sheet1[Value]),Sheet1[Date2]=test)

Output:

@AishwariyaV  Create below calculated column and add to the table. Hope you get your answer.

 

MaxDate2withrespecttoDate =
VAR cDate = Sheet1[Date].[Date]
RETURN
MAXX (
FILTER (
ALL ( Sheet1 ),
Sheet1[Date].[Date] = cDate
&& Sheet1[Date2].[Date] < Sheet1[Date].[Date]
),
Sheet1[Date2].[Date]
)
