So I have 3 columns involved in this issue. [Name], [Date], and [ID]. The [ID] column is unique but can contain multiple [Name] values for each [ID]. What I want to return is the most recent [Name] based on the [ID] using the [Date] column. How would I go about doing this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous try followin measure
Recent Name = VAR __latestDate = CALCULATE( MAX( Table[Date]), ALLEXCEPT( Table, Table[Id]) ) RETURN CALCULATE( MAX( Table[Name]), Table[Date] = __latestDate )
Add a table visual, put Id and Recent Name measure on and you will have the result

Thank you @parry2k. Is there a way to do this but for a calculated column instead?
Any other ideas? I need a calculated column as I need to use a matrix instead of a table.
Hi,
This can be done in a calculated column but then that column would not refresh when you make a change in a filter/slicer.
Hi @Anonymous
As tested, parry2k's solution can be used in a calcuated column or a measure
If you have any problem, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards
