Latest date filter

[manah77g]

Dear Experts, 

I have created a dashboard related to the population, and it updates daily. Now, I want to create a filter using the Page Filter available in the Filters pane so that it filters based on the latest date available in the table. I kindly request your assistance in finding a solution to this issue.

Hi @manah77g 

Thank you very much Ritaf1983 for your prompt reply.

Is your problem solved? If not, here are some solutions I can provide:

Here's some dummy data

“Table”

If you want to implement page-level filtering, try:

Create a column.

Latest date = 
var _maxDate = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Date]), ALL('Table'))
RETURN
IF(
    'Table'[Date] = _maxDate,
    1,
    0
)

If you want to implement visual-level filtering, try:

Create a measure.

Measure Latest date = 
var _maxDate = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Date]), ALL('Table'))
RETURN
IF(
    SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date]) = _maxDate,
    1,
    0
)

Click the visual you want to filter:

Thank you @Ritaf1983 ,

I want you to modify the code to work with the latest date that contains population data, or according to the example you provided, because there may be a more recent date without any data.

Also, is the measure you created dynamic? Meaning, does it automatically change when a new date with updated population data is found?

@Ritaf1983 I look forward to your next assistance

Thank you for your help, I truly appreciate your assistance

Hi @manah77g 
The formula is dynamic.

I don't understand what do you mean by :
"because there may be a more recent date without any data."

Please provide sample data that covers your issue or question completely, in a usable format (not as a screenshot).
Do not include sensitive information. Do not include anything that is unrelated to the issue or question.
Please show the expected outcome based on the sample data you provided.

Hi @manah77g 
You can create flag column in your date table like :

max_date_check = if([Date]<= MAXX(RELATEDTABLE(orders),'orders'[Order Date]),1,0)

and use this flag as a filter:
