Removing Data from Rows Using Subtraction

Hello All,

 

I am a newish user and I have been trying to figure this out for a couple days, so I would appreciate all the help I can get.

 

Sorting by Date (Oldest to Newest), I would like to remove the last 4 entries for each Item. The Dates are different for each Item, so I couldn't just unpivot and remove the rows. The Items # and name will change so I don't think I can just separate them into their own queries? 

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

In DAX you could add a calculated column to COUNT per category e.g.

Column = VAR _Item = Hotel[Item]
         VAR _Day = Hotel[Date]
RETURN  
 CALCULATE(COUNT(Hotel[Item]), FILTER(Hotel, Hotel[Date] <= _Day && Hotel[Item] = _Item ))

And then create a new table by filtering (where Column > x )

 

NewTable = FILTER(Hotel, Hotel[Column] > 4)
