Return most recent record from another table

[rjtedge]

Hi, 

I have two tables in power bi. Table 1 is a list of customers, Table 2 has a list of sales. I want to create a new column in Table 1 that contains the most recent sale item for each customer. Can't seem to make it work with DAX. 

Table 1

CUSTOMER ID	CUSTOMER NAME
1	James
2	Joe
3	John

Table 2

SALE	ITEM	CUSTOMER ID	SALE DATE
1	Apple	1	1/1/2022
2	Peach	2	1/2/2000
3	Apple	1	1/5/2001
4	Banana	3	8/2/2021
5	Peach	1	1/2/2000
6	Banana	2	1/8/2000

Cheers

Rob

Hi,

Create a relationship (Many to One and Single) from Table2 to Table1.  Create a Calendar Table and a relationship (Many to One and Single) from the Sale Date of Table2 to the Date column of the Calendar Table.  To your Table visual, drag the fields from Table1.  Write these measures

Farthest date = max('Table2'[Sale date])

Last item bought = calculate(min('Table2'[Item]),datesbetween(Calendar[Date],[Farthest date],[Farthest date]))

Hope this helps.
