    Hi RafaelAri ,

    Thanks for all the replies!
    And RafaelAri , I think rajendraongole1's reply is close, so I modified his response a bit:
    Here is my sample data:


    I changed his DAX into this:

    Latest_Qty_With_Status_1 = 
VAR _RecentDate = 
CALCULATE(
    MAX('Table'[Status Date]),
    FILTER(
        ALL('Table'),
        RIGHT('Table'[Status], 2) = "\1" && 'Table'[Item] = MAX('Table'[Item])
    )
)
RETURN
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Table'[Qty.]),
    ALL('Table'),
    RIGHT('Table'[Status], 2) = "\1" && 'Table'[Item] = MAX('Table'[Item]) && 'Table'[Status Date] = _RecentDate
)

    And the final output is as below:

Hi RafaelAri - you can create a measure that identifies the latest entry for each item with a status ending in "\1" and then sums the quantity for those entries. 

write dax logic as below:

Latest_Qty_With_Status_1 =
VAR LatestDatePerItem =
CALCULATE(
MAX('Table'[Status Date]),
FILTER(
'Table',
RIGHT('Table'[Status], 2) = "\1"
)
)
RETURN
SUMX(
FILTER(
'Table',
RIGHT('Table'[Status], 2) = "\1" &&
'Table'[Status Date] = LatestDatePerItem
),
'Table'[Qty]
)

 

you can change 'Table' with the actual name of your table in Power BI.

 

Hope this logic helps.
