You can use the "Group By" function  in Query Editor to get maxinum date by ID. If you need to keep the position field - you can load the table again and make inner join by ID and maximum date to grouped table.

I think a measure wont work. I need a table with the distinct values for WORKER where they are the latest by MODIFIEDDATE.


I've tried "Group By" Function and I got it the way I need, but when I add the other columns like "Personnel Number" and "Department" it becomes the same again.

    Don't add the other columns, load the table again so you have 2 tables: 1 - agregated table with ID and max date, 2 - regular table with all the columns. Then join it with inner join by ID and max date.

      With inner join I get the duplicates from the other table. :smileysad:

        Hi Birdjo,

        You can directly create a table visual by setting Latest for MODIFIEDDATETIME as shown in the following screenshot.


        If the above step doesn’t help, please share sample data of all columns in your table, and post expected result here.

        Thanks,
