In Excel, I am able to use the MAX/IF array function to look at Cell A2 (product number), look through all of column A for matching product numbers, and look at column B to find the max date for that serial number. This would go in cell C2 and the function would repeat for each cell in C looking next at A3, A4, A5, etc. to pull the max date. Quick example - The max DATE for each PRODUCT is in RED:
PRODUCT | DATE | MAX DATE |
ABC | 12/31/2016 | 12/31/2017 |
DEF | 1/1/2014 | 12/31/2017 |
ABC | 5/31/2015 | 12/31/2017 |
XYZ | 6/31/2015 | 8/1/2017 |
DEF | 7/21/2012 | 12/31/2017 |
XYZ | 4/1/2011 | 8/1/2017 |
DEF | 5/31/2016 | 12/31/2017 |
DEF | 12/31/2017 | 12/31/2017 |
ABC | 12/31/2017 | 12/31/2017 |
DEF | 1/1/2015 | 12/31/2017 |
XYZ | 8/1/2017 | 8/1/2017 |
ABC | 9/31/2016 | 12/31/2017 |
XYZ | 7/31/2014 | 8/1/2017 |
DEF | 1/1/2015 | 12/31/2017 |
DEF | 3/1/2011 | 12/31/2017 |
I have been hammering away trying to reproduce in power query/power BI and have not been successful. I am new to the software and community (though I have been using power query through Excel for a year or so now) so excuse any ignorance in my post! Thanks in advance for any help!
**UPDATE** - I was able to recreate using a measure but I cannot figure out how to get the Max Date loaded into a new column from the measure.

Solved! Go to Solution.

hi, Use this measure:
Or if you wanna show only latest date for each Product:
In a table visual add Product and Date. And Select Latest in Date Column
I think you can achieve by creating new measure with following expression:
MaxDate = MAX(Table1[Date])
I didn't tested it but I believe it willl work.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply! I was able to use a similar measure and then create a visualization that gave me the latest end date for each product. I should elaborate - I would like to use that measure to create a new column that lists the max end date as I showed in my example from Excel.
Thanks!

@Anonymous
You can use this Measure to get only the latest dates for each product
Then you won't need the Visual Level Filters
Measure = IF ( HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[PRODUCT] ), CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[DATE] ), VALUES ( 'Table'[PRODUCT] ) ), BLANK () )
Good Luck!
So just to be clear you want to create a Table Visualization that list each product and only the max date for each product?
