Hi
I need to filter the records based on Mnth MAX date avillable within the table
I am having a table as below
| Date | Department | Salary |
| 1/31/2017 | Engineering | 80000 |
| 1/31/2017 | HR | 60000 |
| 2/10/2017 | HR | 62000 |
| 2/13/217 | Engineering | 85000 |
| 2/28/2017 | Engineering | 87000 |
| 2/28/2017 | HR | 65000 |
| 4/11/2017 | Engineering | 90000 |
| 4/11/2017 | HR | 70000 |
From the above table I need to get the below result
| Date | Department | Salary |
| 1/31/2017 | Engineering | 80000 |
| 1/31/2017 | HR | 60000 |
| 2/28/2017 | Engineering | 87000 |
| 2/28/2017 | HR | 65000 |
| 4/11/2017 | Engineering | 90000 |
| 4/11/2017 | HR | 70000 |
As a Part of January '1/31/2017' is MAX Date and get all the rows that fall under this date.
In the month of April '4/11/2017' is the MAX data that is avillable within the table.
I am using direct query, kindly suggest some solutions to achive this without using import.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @madan27,
You can get max date in one month, then filter it based on the new column, please follow up the following steps.
First, create calculated columns using the formulas.
Month = MONTH(Test[Date]) Max_date_in_one_month = CALCULATE(MAX(Test[Date]),ALLEXCEPT(Test,Test[Month]))
Then, click "New table" under modeling on home page, create a new table using the formula.
Table = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER(Test,Test[Date]=Test[Max_date_in_one_month]),"Date",Test[Date],"Department",Test[Department],"Salary",Test[Salary])
Please feel free to ask if you have any other issue.
Best Regards,
Angelia

I tried to use the solution, but it gave me the message:
Function 'SELECTCOLUMNS' is not supported in DirectQuery mode.
