Displaying due date with highest value

Hello,

 

I'm working on integrating a billing report with a few hundred thousand lines of data into Power BI. A lot of the invoices are billed in parts. For instance, a $1,000 invoice might be billed to the client as $900, $90, and $10, each with a different due date. I'm looking to have a card that displays the due date with the highest value. Obviously, we don't care as much about that $100 as we do about the $900.

 

Thanks

    I made a test using the following sample table.


    Firstly, create a new column in the table using the DAX below.

    MaxInvoice = CALCULATE(MAX(Table1[invoices]),ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[Client]))


    Secondly, create a new table using the following formula.

    Table = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER(Table1,Table1[invoices]=Table1[MaxInvoice]),"Client",Table1[Client],"Date",Table1[Due Date],"Highest",Table1[MaxInvoice])

    Hi there,

     

    So I think you'll want to use some form of the FIRSTNONBLANK function for this to display the "Top Date" based on value. There's a great post by Rob Collie on PowerPivotPro that talks about how to do this for products, you'd just substitute the product name field with date. The post can be found here. Hopefully this can help steer you in the right direction.
