    Hello @nanutum ,

    Can you try modifying the DAX expression for the measure as follows:

    Stock_Case_LastDate = 
var maxDate = CALCULATE(MAX(Stock[Stock_Date]))
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUM(Stock[Case]), ALL(Stock), Stock[Stock_Date] = maxDate)

    Thank you

As the error clearly says, LASTDATE is a table function that operates on a column of dates but the dates must be UNIQUE. This function should be used on a proper Date table in the model, not just on any column that happens to store dates.

Please create a proper calendar in your model, connect to your fact table and you'll be good to go.

By the way, your model should be a star schema. Please refer to this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/guidance/star-schema#star-schema-overview
