    Hi poojag820 ,

    Thanks for bhanu_gautam's reply!

    And poojag820 , please try this way:
    Not sure if your data looks like this, this is my test data:

    Use this DAX to create a measure:

    Flag = 
VAR _Date = 
CALCULATE(
    MAX('Table'[Date]),
    ALL('Table'),
    'Table'[Value] <> BLANK()
)
RETURN
IF(
    MONTH(MAX('Table'[Date])) = MONTH(_Date) && YEAR(MAX('Table'[Date])) = YEAR(_Date),
    1,
    0
)

    Then all rows corresponding to the largest month in the table where Value exists will be marked as 1, and the others as 0.

    You can then filter to show only data with measure=1.

    Best Regards,
    Dino Tao

poojag820 , Create a new calculated column for this using

MaxDateFlag =
VAR MaxDate = CALCULATE(MAX('YourTable'[Date]), 'YourTable'[Date] <= DATE(2024, 6, 30))
RETURN IF('YourTable'[Date] = MaxDate, 1, 0)

 

Then Add a filter to your visual to only show rows where MaxDateFlag is 1.

      I am using this logic currently, without max flag but using max logic inside dax

      Sales = CALCULATE(
          sum(Sales),
             Sales[Period] = max(Sales[Period]) -- Filter to the max month
          )

      I am showing data against serveral fields like Client, PRoject.

        poojag820 , Update the measure 

         

        MaxDateFlag =
        VAR LatestMonthWithData =
        CALCULATE(
        MAX('YourTable'[Date]),
        'YourTable'[Date] <= TODAY()
        )
        RETURN IF('YourTable'[Date] = LatestMonthWithData, 1, 0)

         

        Then rest process is same
