Date of last email

Hi all,

 

I have a table of [Activities] with the columns "Case ID", "Activity Type" and "Created On", The "Activity types" can be "email", "phone call", etc... 

 

I need to pull a table of cases with the Case ID and the date of the last email 

 

I've created a measure:  LatestActivity = MAX(Activities[createdon])

 

It is working for me as a calculated column: 

LastEmail = CALCULATE(MAX(Activities[createdon]);Activities[ActivityType]="Email")

 

But not as a measure: 

Latest email = CALCULATE ([LatestActivity]; FILTER(Activities;Activities[ActivityType]="Email"))
 
The result that I'm obtaining is the last email of the whole activity table, not row by row. 
 
Could somebody help, please?

Hi@setis

Create a measure

Measure = CALCULATE(MAX([Created On]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(Sheet10,Sheet10[Case ID]),[Activity Type]="email"))

measure will always give you single value for a given filter context, therefore if you have a visual that gived single value it will do exactly that
if you create a table in which emails are in rows then each row will have a different filter context, and the measure should return different values for them

Hi @setis

I'm a bit confused because from what you describe I believe your measure should work but your column shouldn't. Exactly the opposite of what you claim Smiley Happy

 

The calc column would need to get rid of the context transition effect to work properly. Otherwise it will calculate the max only on the current row when the activity is email.

The measure, however, looks fine to me. How/where exactly are you using it? If you place Activities[Case ID] in the rows of a matrix visual for instance and the measure in values, I see no reason for it not to work (with the info you provide).

 

Your description is quite good but remember it's always best to show a sample of your tables/data in text format. It's very helpful for people trying to answer. Or sharing the pbix if possible
