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
you can create this formula like this:
- Right click table name in field list, choose New Measure.
- Copy and paste the formula from my previous post or write it manuelly into the formulabar.
- 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.
