Hi Pchapple,

 

According to your description, you need to only show most recent event date with add any filter, right?

 

I have tested it on my local environment, there is no any Minimum and Maximum option for a date value.

So you need to create another table to get only the lastest date for each event, and then use the new created table to create visuals.

Create a column in the original table
LatestDate = CALCULATE(MAX(Latest[DATE]),ALLEXCEPT(Latest,Latest[Event#]))
Then create a new table
LatestEvent = SUMMARIZE(Latest,Latest[Event#])
Add those columns to the new created table.
LatestDate = LOOKUPVALUE(Latest[LatestDate],Latest[Event#],LatestEvent[Event#])
RevCat1 = LOOKUPVALUE(Latest[RevCat1],Latest[DATE],LatestEvent[LatestDate],Latest[Event#],LatestEvent[Event#])
RevCat2 = LOOKUPVALUE(Latest[RevCat2],Latest[DATE],LatestEvent[LatestDate],Latest[Event#],LatestEvent[Event#])
RevCat3 = LOOKUPVALUE(Latest[RevCat3],Latest[DATE],LatestEvent[LatestDate],Latest[Event#],LatestEvent[Event#])
RevCat4 = LOOKUPVALUE(Latest[RevCat4],Latest[DATE],LatestEvent[LatestDate],Latest[Event#],LatestEvent[Event#])
RevCat5 = LOOKUPVALUE(Latest[RevCat5],Latest[DATE],LatestEvent[LatestDate],Latest[Event#],LatestEvent[Event#])

Thanks v-caliao-msft

 

When you are referecning the table Latest... for example...

 

LatestDate = CALCULATE(MAX(Latest[DATE]),ALLEXCEPT(Latest,Latest[Event#]))

 

What table are you refering to?  Is it the original table? When I try to create the new column in the original table as you described, its giving me an error.  

 

Sorry for the newbie questions...

    Hi Pchapple,

     

    Yes, create calculated column in the original table. Please share us the error message, so that we can make further analysis.

      Hi v-caliao-msft

      Have created the column as suggested however the process for creating a table seems unclear.  Maybe Im not creating the table rtight, but it does not seem that the formulae works when I use ENTER DATA to create a new table.

       

      You say "Then create a new table
      LatestEvent = SUMMARIZE(Latest,Latest[Event#])" however this does not seem to return any results when pasted into the 1st cell

       

      Thanks

        Hi Pchapple,

         

        I have create a table by using Enter Data, everything works fine. Here are the steps for you reference.

        1. Create a table using Enter Data (change the table name to Latest) and then click Loda button.
        2. Click Data on the left pane, and click Modeling the click New Column. Type the DAX below.
          LatestDate = CALCULATE(MAX(Latest[DATE]),ALLEXCEPT(Latest,Latest[Event#]))
        3. Click New Table and type the DAX below.
          LatestEvent = SUMMARIZE(Latest,Latest[Event#])
        4. Add those columns to the new created table.
          LatestDate = LOOKUPVALUE(Latest[LatestDate],Latest[Event#],LatestEvent[Event#])
          RevCat1 = LOOKUPVALUE(Latest[RevCat1],Latest[DATE],LatestEvent[LatestDate],Latest[Event#],LatestEvent[Event#])
          RevCat2 = LOOKUPVALUE(Latest[RevCat2],Latest[DATE],LatestEvent[LatestDate],Latest[Event#],LatestEvent[Event#])
          RevCat3 = LOOKUPVALUE(Latest[RevCat3],Latest[DATE],LatestEvent[LatestDate],Latest[Event#],LatestEvent[Event#])
          RevCat4 = LOOKUPVALUE(Latest[RevCat4],Latest[DATE],LatestEvent[LatestDate],Latest[Event#],LatestEvent[Event#])
          RevCat5 = LOOKUPVALUE(Latest[RevCat5],Latest[DATE],LatestEvent[LatestDate],Latest[Event#],LatestEvent[Event#])
