Hi,
Im trying to create a calculcated column, that retrieves a text value from another table. The logic is the following
VAR variable1 = blabla
VAR variable2 = blabla
VAR ReturnInvoice = CALCULATE(MAX('Table1'[InvoiceID]),
'Table1'[Column2] = variable1,
'Table1'[Column3] = variable2,
'Table1'[Column4] = Max('Table1'[Column4]))
RETURN
ReturnInvoice
--> This however does not work. The problem is with the last filter. How do i return the InvoiceID based on the maximum value in Column4?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@CarlsBerg999 try this:
VAR variable1 = blabla
VAR variable2 = blabla
VAR __max = CALCUALTE( Max('Table1'[Column4]))
VAR ReturnInvoice = CALCULATE(MAX('Table1'[InvoiceID]),
'Table1'[Column2] = variable1,
'Table1'[Column3] = variable2,
'Table1'[Column4] = __max)
