Extracting / Plotting values in the last column
Hi everyone
I have a table of account balances by date, in the following format:
| Account | 01/01/2021 | 02/01/2021 |
| A | £20 | £34 |
| B | £23 | £45 |
| C | £34 | £56 |
I would like to populate a matrix with the values for the latest date - ie those in the last column. At the moment if I populate the matrix it uses the sum of all dates for each account.
Similarly if I plot the account value over time I only have the option to plot the sum for all periods for each account not the values on individual days.
As a second step, probably too ambitious for me at the moment, I would like to compute the change in value of each account over the last day/week/month/year.
This will be complicated by the fact that the data is only stored monthly prior to this calendar year, but I am happy to use this monthly value as the average for the month to get things moving.
Any help would be very much appreciated

Create a measure like for last date
Meausre =
var _max = maxx(allselected(Table), Table[Date])
Return
calculate(Sum(Table[Value]), filter(Table, Table[Date] =_max))
To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.

https://medium.com/@amitchandak.1978/power-bi-day-intelligence-questions-time-intelligence-5-5-5c3243d1f9Perfect many thanks I just need to bug you with for the idiots guide to syntax within the measure.
Unpivot went well, but I have made quite a few 🙂 attempts to enter the code as descirbed before bothering you again but I get an error message that the syntax is wrong.
The screen gives me:
The actual text enlarged is
and the error message
Many thanks

Hi Anonymous going to suggest that you unpivot those columns in Power Query to create a date field instead. Then it should be fairly easy to do the things you indicated.
