Getting Maximum date selected from date column

Hi everyone, i'm trying to get the latest date selected in a new column

my data is structured like;

 

Employee_name | Hire date    | Latest date

Wittig Lyon         |   1/1/2023  | 

Wittig Lyon         |   5/4/2023  |

Wittig Lyon         |   9/8/2023  |  9/8/2023

Henry                 |   31/1/2023  | 

Henry                 |   12/9/2023  |  12/9/2023

Henry                 |   1/9/2023  | 

 

i`d love to have the Latest date be populated with the latest date of each employee thereby having 9/8/2023 as the value populating the latest date column for Wittig Lyon and 12/9/2023 for Henry

Hi @WittigLyon 

Add calculated column with the formula :

last date = if('Table'[ Hire date    ]=CALCULATE(max('Table'[ Hire date    ]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Employee_name ])),[ Hire date    ],blank())
