    HI, Anonymous

    Sorry for my careless and misunderstanding for the issue,

    and you may try to this formula as below:

    Consultant = 
MAXX (
    TOPN (
        1,
        FILTER (
           consultants,
            results[Client] = consultants[Client]
                && results[Date] >= consultants[Starting date]
        ),
        consultants[Starting date], DESC
    ),
    consultants[Consultant]
)

    Regards,

    Lin Li

hi, Anonymous

After my research, you could try this formula:

result = 
SUMX (
    TOPN (
        1,
        FILTER (
            SUMMARIZE (
                results,
                results[Client],
                results[Date],
                "_transaction", CALCULATE ( SUM ( results[Transactions] ) )
            ),
            results[Client] = consultants[Client]
                && results[Date] <= consultants[Starting date]
        ),
        results[Date], DESC
    ),
    [_transaction]
)

Result:

 

here is pbix, please try it.

Hi and thanks for your suggestion, I really appreciate all the ideas and input. However I don't think that your solution works for what I'm trying to achieve. The result should be that the right consultant is returned for the right date and client. 

 

The table should be something like this:

 

 

Date Client Transactions Consultant (calculated column)

DateClientTransactionsConsultant (calculated column)
1-1-2019Client A2000Consultant 1
1-1-2019Client B1500Consultant 2
3-1-2019Client C4387Consultant 3
1-6-2019Client A2433Consultant 2
