How to get last row value which is not blank for Card Visual

[Anonymous]

Dear All

I want to fetch the last row of a coloumn value which is not blank as shown below table , on the total employees card , i need to show the value od March 2021 , I created index coloumn starting from 1 to 12 , and I used the DAX as below 

NOOFEMPLOYEES = CALCULATE(LASTNONBLANK(DATA[EMP],1),FILTER(DATA,MainData1[Index]=MAX(DATA[Index])))

But its still gives me Blank value , the EMP coloumn set as distinct  format

MONTH	NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES
Jan 2021	143
Feb 2021	156
March 2021	160
April 2021	0 (null)

Hi @Anonymous 

0 is not blank. But when a column is of number type, blank equals to 0. So you could use below measure. Or you could use ">" to replace "<>" as the number of employees wouldn't be negative. 

NOOFEMPLOYEES = 
VAR _index = MAXX(FILTER('DATA','DATA'[NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES]<>0),'DATA'[Index])
RETURN
MAXX(FILTER('DATA','DATA'[Index]=_index),'DATA'[NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES])

Hi @Anonymous ,

Your DAX references 2 different tables. Is the data shared above not in a single table in Power BI?

Thanks,
