Lookup latest value
Hi,
i would like create a calculated column called "Program Name" in the "Global Project" for each GlobalProjectKey.
The relevant value is stored in the table "Custom Fields", column "Program Name".
I would like to select the value with the latest "Date Key" value from the "Project Period" table for each "Globalprojectkey" value.
"Global Project" table:
| Globalprojectkey | Program Name |
| A | Program A |
| B | Program C |
1: N (via GlobalProjectKey)
"Project Period" table:
| GlobalProjectKey | Datekey | ProjectPeriodKey |
| A | 08/2021 | Key 1 |
| A | 07/2021 | Key 2 |
| B | 08/2021 | Key 3 |
| B | 07/2021 | Key 4 |
| B | 06/2021 | Key 5 |
1:N (via ProjectPeriodKey)
"Custom Fields" table:
| GlobalProjectKey | ProjectperiodKey | Program Name | Other Column A | Other Column B |
| A | Key 1 | Program A | ||
| A | Key 1 | Other 0 | ||
| A | Key 2 | Other 1 | ||
| A | Key 2 | Other 2 | ||
| A | Key 2 | Program B | ||
| B | Key 3 | Program C |
| |
| B | Key 4 | Program D |
| |
| B | Key 5 | Program E |
|
I tried to solve this via the LOOKUPVALUE function but wasn't sucessfull, because i was not to able to select the value with the latest datekey per project from the project period table.
I would apprechiate your help to find a solution.
Thank you,
Best regards,

Hi waldnerr,
You can try this new column, it is a little long.
Program Name = var LastestDate = CALCULATE( MAX('Project Period'[Datekey]), FILTER('Project Period',[GlobalProjectKey]=EARLIER('Global Project'[Globalprojectkey])) ) var LastestKey = CALCULATE( MAX('Project Period'[ProjectPeriodKey]), FILTER('Project Period',[Globalprojectkey]=EARLIER('Global Project'[Globalprojectkey]) && [Datekey]=LastestDate) ) RETURN CALCULATE( MAX('Custom Fields'[Program Name]), FILTER('Custom Fields',[Globalprojectkey]=EARLIER('Global Project'[Globalprojectkey]) && [ProjectperiodKey]=LastestKey) )Here's the file I made with your data, you can try it.
