@shelleye This is Lookup Min/Max, like this:

 

Measure Lookup Max Simple =  
    VAR __Table = 'Table1'
    VAR __Max = MAXX(__Table,[Period])
RETURN
    MAXX(FILTER(__Table,[Period] = __Max),[Value])

@Greg_Deckler thank you!!!

@shelleye No problem, I actually grabbed that from my test PBIX for my external tool, Microsoft Hates Greg's Quick Measures. I have 4 different lookup min/max formulas in there that make these kinds of calculations a breeze.
