MAX date based on another column

I have a column with values A & B and a date column which show when the data was updated for A & B.
I need to make a new calculated column, which shows when A was last updated and when B was last updated.

I am using below but it says circlar dependecy-

"

VAR CurrentValue =table1[A&B]
RETURN
    IF(
        CurrentValue = "A",
        CALCULATE(MAXX(FILTER('table1', table1[A&B] = "A" && NOT(ISBLANK('table1[Date update]))), 'table1[Date update])),
        IF(
            CurrentValue = "IFC",
            CALCULATE(MAXX(FILTER('table 1','table1[A&B]= "B" && NOT(ISBLANK(table1[Date update]))), 'table1[Date update])),
            BLANK()
        )
    )

    Hi learner03 ,

    It could be a DAX measure that is causing the circular dependency.
    I tried to create data to reproduce your problem, here are my test steps：
    Test data

    Apply your calculate column

    Here's my modification of this dax to achieve your goal

    LastUpdateDate = 
CALCULATE(
    MAX('Table'[Date update]),
    FILTER(
        'Table',
        'Table'[A&B] = EARLIER('Table'[A&B])
        && NOT(ISBLANK('Table'[Date update]))
    )
)

    Final output

    You can refer to this link for more information on cyclic dependencies
