Get latest date values

[RafaelAri]

Hello,

I have a table of items, with a "Status" and "Status Date" columns, of different statuses, for the same item.

It is required to build a measure that will summarize the "Qty" field, In case a status ends with "\1" and the date for that status is the most recent, for that item.

See an example for 1 specific item in the picture:

Hi,

Share data in a format that can be pasted in an MS Excel file.  For that dataset, show the expected result very clearly.

OK, I will do so next time

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:

you can create a column to mark if need to filter

Column = IF(RIGHT('Table'[Status],2)="\1"&&'Table'[Status Date]<>CALCULATE(max('Table'[Status Date]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Item])),"N","Y")

then you can only sum those data that column ="Y"

Hi @RafaelAri ,

Try below dax. 

result= 

var max_date = calculate(max(table,status date),allexcept(table, item))
return
calculate(sum(table,qty),allexcept(table,item),status date = max_date, RIGHT(table,status, 2) = "\1"))

alternate dax:

result= 

var max_date = calculate(max(table,status date),allexcept(table, item))
return
sumx(filter(allexcept(table,item),status date = max_date&& right(table,status,2)="\1"),qty)

both should work

Thanks, I tryed this solution, but it is not what I need

[RafaelAri]

Thanks , but I don't get the results.
I see that I get results in my visual even if the Status with "\1" is not the latest.

It looks like the MAX with the FILTER are not correct

Hi @RafaelAri 

Assuming the status is to be calculted by Status and Item columns, try this measure:

MyMeasure =

VAR __LATEST_STATUS_DATE =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'table'[Status Date] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'table', 'table'[Status], 'table'[Item] )
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'table'[Qty.] ),
        KEEPFILTERS ( 'table'[Status Date] = __LATEST_STATUS_DATE )
    )

If you want a calculated column to be used in a slicer/as a filter:

Is Latest=
VAR __LATEST_STATUS_DATE =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'table'[Status Date] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'table', 'table'[Status], 'table'[Item] )
    )
RETURN
    table'[Status Date] = __LATEST_STATUS_DATE  --will return TRUE/FALSE

Thanks, I tried but didn't get the results I expected.

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.

Thanks, this is helpful, I'm trying to use this solution
