Hi Experts,

I am new to Power BI and have a question, i know how to get this in a pivot in excel but trying hard to convert the same idea in Power BI. I have data as below.

Type(From table 1)	Item(From table 2)	Created on(From table 2)
Fruit	Apple	Jan 2
Fruit	Apple	Jun 12
Fruit	Orange	Sep 22
Car	Honda	Mar 14
Car	Nissan	May 14
Car	BMW	Oct 24
Vegetable	Carrot	Nov 16
Vegetable	Carrot	Oct 10
Vegetable	Carrot	Mar 22

I want a list to look like the below, which basically is the last day a record was created in that category.

Type(From table 1)	Created on (From table 2)
Fruit	Sep 22
Car	Oct 24
Vegetable	Nov 16

With that result the created on column should be sorted from the last date first.

Thanks in advance for your help and response.

Hi @Titus_D 

what about the following solution:

Max Date = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Created on]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Type]))

@FrankAT  thanks for your response.

I am completely new to Power BI so excuse me for some basic questions. Where is the place where i put that formula? Should i click on the column in the visualisation pane and then right click and select quick measure and put the formula there?

Hi @Titus_D 

you can create this formula like this:

1. Right click table name in field list, choose New Measure.
2. Copy and paste the formula from my previous post or write it manuelly into the formulabar.
3. Press Enter.

@Titus_D ,

I do not know how you are relating those table, if you are. However if you just drag the date column and change the aggregation to max, you get the result you want.
