Return Value Based on Date Criteria

I am trying to build a measure that returns a value based on a data criteria i.e. date <= date

 

Sample:

EntityVersionValueDate
AA1005/2021
AA1006/2021
AA1007/2021
AB1507/2021

 

Output example if criteria is Date < 07/2021 then Version A else Version B

Entity05/202106/202107/2021
A101015

@rstover_atx hmmm, you are not using a fixed date? Not sure I can help with this since it is very hard to understand the basics of your requirement. I hope someone else can help.

Does the example output table not help?

Hi @rstover_atx ,

 

Sorry, your example really makes me a little bit confused. It is best to give your original sample data, and then give the expected result.

 

Best Regards,
