How to show only the latest data for each timestamp

 Hi all,

 

I am working with a live data connection which gets data in a hourly basis. I am facing difficulties in using DAX. I have a dataset similar to the one below.

Timestamp      Value

15/06/2020 1:00    10

15/06/2020 1:00     12

15/06/2020 1:00    15

15/06/2020  2:00    11

15/06/2020  2:00    13

 

I want to show only the last value for each timestamp. For ex., i want the output to show as below,

Timestamp    Value

15/06/2020 1:00   15

15/06/2020 2:00    13

 

Could someone pls suggest a way to do this?. Since this is a live connection i couldnt use the query editor. Is there any measure for this. After this, I want to plot the timestamp vs Value in the form of a line plot.

 

 

Thanks,

Hi @pbidemouser2 ,

 

This is very strange.

Are you saying that you can‘t use the [Timestamp] column in the LASTNONBLANKVALUE() function?

What error did you encounter?

Please send a screenshot of your error message.

 

Or try this measure formula.

Measure 3 = 
CALCULATE(
    MAX(Sheet4[Value]),
    ALLEXCEPT(Sheet4, Sheet4[Timestamp] )
)

Timestamp is not a measure here @amitchandak 

Hi @pbidemouser2 ,

 

Please refer to the below formula.

Measure 2 = 
LASTNONBLANKVALUE(
// the name of my table is 'Sheet4'
    Sheet4[Timestamp],
    MAX( Sheet4[Value] )
)

Hi @v-lionel-msft ,

This measure shows the max value of each timestamp, not the latest one. Is there any other way to find the latest one?

 

Thanks

Thanks @v-lionel-msft , this measure worked
