I'm trying to obtain the inventory level with the measure:
Inventory = CALCULATE( MAX('Inventory'[Quantity]), LASTDATE('Inventory'[ExistenceDate]))
So, according to the documentation, I should get the value of [Quantity] on the last [ExistenceDate].
Solved! Go to Solution.
@webportal , You should always use date table joined with you table's date(single directional) for time intelligence
Inventory = CALCULATE( MAX('Inventory'[Quantity]), LASTDATE('Date'[Date]))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.

You can try with below Dax.
I just treid with SalesTable but you can change to Inventory table (hoping there is relationship with product table).
Appreciate a Kudos!

I do have a calendar table, and when the "date" key is used within the LASTDATE, it all works well.
