Get the most recent status

I have a table which contains the following data:

DateCategoryProgress_Status
1/14/2024x01
1/15/2024x02
1/15/2024x03
1/17/2024x05
1/18/2024x04
1/21/2024x08
1/23/2024x12
1/16/2024y01
1/22/2024y12


I would like to create a matrix visual which shows the latest Progress_Status for every day I have created the following dax measure:

 

var lastDate=MAX(Calendar[Date])
var lastProgressStatus=MAX(Fact[Progress_Status])
var lastProgressStatusDate=
 CALCULATE(
MAX(Calendar[Date]),
Calendar[Date]<= lastDate,
Fact[Progress_Status] <> BLANK()
)
RETURN
IF(lastProgressStatus==BLANK() || lastProgressStatus =="",
 CALCULATE(
MAX(Fact[Progress_Status]),
Calendar[Date]<= lastProgressStatusDate
),
lastProgressStatus
)

 

 

 

 

This gives me the following result:

Category1/13/20241/14/20241/15/20241/16/20241/17/20241/18/20241/19/20241/20/20241/21/20241/22/20241/23/2024
x 01030305040505080812
y   0101010101011212


However this is not the result i want, because in some cases the statuses are not in ascending order. How do i change my formula to get this result instead?

Category1/13/20241/14/20241/15/20241/16/20241/17/20241/18/20241/19/20241/20/20241/21/20241/22/20241/23/2024
x 01030305040404080812
y   0101010101011212


Thanks a lot for the help !

That is the step one measure, which steps towards the solution. At the end of the blog there are two other version

 

This was one of them

// Using TOPN

VAR currentState = SELECTEDVALUE(States[State])

VAR currentDate = SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[Date])+1

RETURN

    COUNTROWS(

        FILTER(

            ALL( data[TestID] ),

            SELECTCOLUMNS(

                TOPN(

                    1,

                    CALCULATETABLE( 

                        FILTER( 

                            'data', 

                            [DateTime] < currentDate

                        )

                        ,REMOVEFILTERS('Calendar'[Date])

                        ,REMOVEFILTERS('States'[State])

                        ),

                    'data'[DateTime], 

                    DESC

                ),

                "Last Value", [State]

                )

            = currentState

            )

        )

Thanks, this looks like what I am looking for, however I am not getting the same result as in the blog:
I have downloaded the file from the there and this is what I am getting:

PJ_01_1-1741916465566.png
And this is what it should look like according to the blog:

PJ_01_2-1741916811709.png

It looks like the REMOVEFILTERS function is not working.

That is the step one measure, which steps towards the solution. At the end of the blog there are two other version

// Using TOPN

VAR currentState = SELECTEDVALUE(States[State])

VAR currentDate = SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[Date])+1

RETURN

    COUNTROWS(

                        FILTER( 

                            'data', 

                            [DateTime] < currentDate

                        )

                        ,REMOVEFILTERS('Calendar'[Date])

                        ,REMOVEFILTERS('States'[State])

                        ),
