Get specific column from Last record

Hello,

 

I have a table that I would like to find the last record and specifically show the "Closed Month" Field.   The measure should only display the word Oct-2021 because that is the last record with the "Closed" column set to Yes based on the DateKey.

 

Measure = CALCULATE(MAX(FY[Closed Month]),ALL(FY),FY[Closed] = "Yes")  Doesnt work.   

 

Does anyone lknow how to achieve this?

    is your [Closed Month] field a text field or a Date field?  It needs to be a Date field  if you want the logic to work - you can still format it in the way you need.

     

    The [Date Key] field is equally suspicious.  Use actual numbers like 202001 instead of text "2020-1".

      Its a text field.  I ended up using a table as the slicer so I can show the months that are closed:

    CALCULATE(MAX(FY[Closed Month]),Filter(Allselected(FY), FY[Closed] á "Yes" && [DateKey] á _max))

    O

    lcasey I don't why you are using ALL() in your measure

     

    try this, it doesn't work share sample data:

     

    Measure = CALCULATE(MAX(FY[Closed Month]),KEEPFILTERS(FY[Closed] = "Yes"))

    Hi lcasey ,

     

    According to your needs, you want to get the latest records based on the "Yes" in the Closed column. I did the following test: note that ALLSELECT function keeps the slicer external filter and the created measure is added to the Card to return the latest record under “Yes”.

     

    Best Regards,
    Henry
