Filter text DAX column

Hi,

 

kind of simple question:

How can I create a new text column with DAX in which it's filtered by another text column. I don't want to use the filter in the filterpane, but in the new column.

 

For example

Account names that have the filter Status = Active.

 

thank you

Hi @thhmez7 ,

According info your provided,pls refer the following sample:

sample data:

vluwangmsft_1-1640152570545.png

 

Dax for new column:

New Status = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Account]),
       FILTER(ALL('Table'),
         'Table'[Account]=EARLIER('Table'[Account])&&'Table'[Status]="Active"))

Fianl output result:

vluwangmsft_2-1640152595252.png

 

 

If you want to dynamically filter,I suggest you use measure and visual:

New Status1 = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Account]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Account]=MAX('Table'[Account])&&'Table'[Status]="Active"))

Final output:
