Hi, I have a table like the one below:
| USERID | DATE | GROUP |
| User1 | 20/01/2023 | GroupA |
| User1 | 21/01/2023 | GroupA |
| User1 | 22/01/2023 | GroupB |
| User1 | 23/01/2023 | GroupB |
| User2 | 18/01/2023 | GroupC |
| User2 | 20/01/2023 | GroupD |
| User2 | 21/01/2023 | GroupD |
| User2 | 22/01/2023 | GroupC |
And I want to get the group that holds the value with the max date, so I should have a table like this:
| USERID | DATE | GROUP |
| User1 | 22/01/2023 | GroupB |
| User1 | 23/01/2023 | GroupB |
| User2 | 18/01/2023 | GroupC |
| User2 | 22/01/2023 | GroupC |
Just to clarify, I don't need the rows with the max date by group, I need the rows with the group that has the max date. Does anyone know of a way I could accomplish this? Ideally, I would like to get a calculated column in Dax or a measure to use as a filter in a table visual (power query isn't going to work for me). Thanks in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
I think there's two parts to the formula - find which group has the max date (var groupWithMaxDate), and then check if the existing group is equal to that group (the return IF condition).
Column =
var groupWithMaxDate = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[GROUP]),
FILTER('Table', 'Table'[DATE] = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[DATE]), ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[USERID]))
&& 'Table'[USERID] = EARLIER('Table'[USERID])
))
return IF('Table'[GROUP] = groupWithMaxDate, 'Table'[GROUP])Hopefully this helps.
