Hi @Kolumam,

 

You try a measure like this:

 

Measure =
VAR maxDate =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table1'[Date] ), ALL ( Table1 ) )
RETURN
    CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table1'[Value] ), 'Table1'[Date] = maxDate )

Hi Dale, just trying to understand why you are using calculate (min in your code. Is that because that is the only way to bring back a single value, and you have to do it as a kind of pseudo calculation? I have a similar need where I have to return a value based on a date, and am thinking this will work for me. But it's not really a calculation, I am just saying on the latest date, what is the rating (column value), all in the same table. I guess this would work as I haven't seen a different solution.
