    Hi buddy,

     

    well, this is happening because you have one date being repeted, so you need something like "index column".

    I create one column called "KEY" it would serve to resolve your problem, here goes the steps.

     

    i recreate the table, now only using the summerize for column "Project":

    Table = SUMMARIZE(Table1;Table1[Project])
     
     
     
     
     
    Create those 2 columns:
    last date = CALCULATE(LASTDATE(Table1[Date]);FILTER(Table1;Table1[Project]='Table'[Project]))
    Key = CONCATENATE('Table'[Project];'Table'[last date])
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Create on the original table this column to be referenced:
    Key = CONCATENATE(Table1[Project];Table1[Date])
     
     
     
     
    Those "key" columns you can "hide in the report view" so do impact happens.
     
    Now you can access the Name column, like this:
    Column = LOOKUPVALUE(Table1[Name];Table1[Key];'Table'[Key])
     
     
     
     
     
    This should do the trick,
    Also, sorry my bad english, it's not my native language.
     
    Any questions, ask ;)

Try this next one:

 

Table = SUMMARIZE(Table1;Table1[Project];"Actual Milestone";LOOKUPVALUE(Table1[Milestone];Table1[Completed On];LASTDATE(Table1[Completed On]));"Date";LOOKUPVALUE(Table1[Completed On];Table1[Completed On];LASTDATE(Table1[Completed On])))
 
this one is creating a table who can bring you all info in one.
Be sure to hit the "create table" button on the modeling to use this DAX, just like this.
 
Just to clarify, i'm using the SUMMARIZE to group the project, the milestone and the last date.

Thank you,

In fact,

when I Have this table of more than 3000 rows, this is a specimen,

59910CMT1-May-19
59910TSVR116-May-19
59910TSVR230-May-19
59910CB6-Jun-19
59910HIP10-May-19
59874CMT10-May-19
59874TSVR17-May-19
59874CSRB10-May-19
59874TSVR221-May-19
59874CB28-May-19
59874HIP5-Jun-19

With this code :

Table = SUMMARIZE(Table2,Table2[PCR],"Actual Milestone",LOOKUPVALUE(Table2[HIP],Table2[DATE],LASTDATE(Table2[DATE])),"Date",LOOKUPVALUE(Table2[DATE],Table2[DATE],LASTDATE(Table2[DATE])))

I am getting this result :

Actual Milestone      Date                          PCR

HIP                                    6/5/2019               59874

CB                                      6/6/2019               59910

 

The Problem as soon as I add rows  (Check I added another row in the end)

59910CMT1-May-19
59910TSVR116-May-19
59910TSVR230-May-19
59910CB6-Jun-19
59910HIP10-May-19
59874CMT10-May-19
59874TSVR17-May-19
59874CSRB10-May-19
59874TSVR221-May-19
59874CB28-May-19
59874HIP5-Jun-19
54786TSVR5-Jun-19

 

I receive this message:

A table of multiple vales was supplied where a single value was expected :(
