Return max date given criteria

Hello,

I have a table of data that look like the below:

DatesAreaTo display?
01-Jan-201No
02-Jan-201No
03-Jan-201No
04-Jan-201No
05-Jan-201Yes
06-Jan-201No
07-Jan-201No
08-Jan-201No
09-Jan-201Yes
01-Jan-202No
02-Jan-202No
03-Jan-202Yes
04-Jan-202No
05-Jan-202No
06-Jan-202Yes
07-Jan-202No
08-Jan-202No
09-Jan-202No
01-Jan-203Yes
02-Jan-203Yes
03-Jan-203No
04-Jan-203No
05-Jan-203No
06-Jan-203No
07-Jan-203No
08-Jan-203No
09-Jan-203No

 

I want to create a table so it returns the most recent date with a "Yes". The resulting table should look like this:

AreaYes
109-Jan-20
206-Jan-20
302-Jan-20

 

How can I accomplish this?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

How about this?

MAX_DATE =
CALCULATE (
    MAX ( YESTABLE[Dates] ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( GEOGRAPHY, GEOGRAPHY[AREA] ),
    YESTABLE[To display] = "Yes"
)

 

If it doesn't work, please share us some sample data of your two tables, removing sensitive information.

 

 

Best Regards,

Icey

Hi @Anonymous 

I would use

MAX_DATE = CALCULATE(MAX(table[Dates]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(table,table[Area]),table[To display] = "Yes")

and plot it using matrix

Thank you. My issue is that Table[area] isn't part of the Table. "Area" comes from another table and is brought here through a relationship.

HI @Anonymous 

 

In that case you need to create a relationship between both tables.

The relationship has already been created, so how should I re-write this part of the code?

FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(YESTABLE, GEOGRAPHY[AREA]) doesn't seem to work.

FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(table,table[Area]
