     hi hadjigeo 

    If so, just adjust the formula to create a measure instead of column

    lastest rate = MAXX(TOPN(1,FILTER('Dim daily rates','Dim daily rates'[bpc_name]=MAX('Table'[bpc_name])),'Dim daily rates'[bpc_ExchangeDate],DESC),[bpc_ExchangeRate])

      hi  hadjigeo 

      For your case, you could try this way as below:

      Step1:

      Add a bpc_name in your basic fact table, you could add it in edit queries or use this simple dax

      Column = 'Table'[Currency]&"-EUR"

      Step2:

      Add a lastest rate column in fact data table as below:

      lastest rate = MAXX(TOPN(1,FILTER('Dim daily rates','Dim daily rates'[bpc_name]='Table'[bpc_name]),'Dim daily rates'[bpc_ExchangeDate],DESC),[bpc_ExchangeRate])

       

      Now you could use this rates column in calculated column or measure to get your requriement.

       

      here is sample pbix file, please try it.

       

      Regards,
