Second Last Date Total

Hi,

 

I am hoping someone can help I have a very simple table.

 

I would like to be able to create a measure that would provide the figure (total) for the second last date available in my data. So, in this scenario 400. Any ideas?

 

Date                  Total

1/1/2020           100 

2/1/2020           150

3/1/2020           400 

4/1/2020           500 

 

Thanks,

Boycie92

measure =
var _max= maxx(allselected(Table),Table[date])
return
calculate(lastnonblankvalue(Table[date],Sum(Table[Total])),Table[Date]<_max)

 

OR


measure =
var _max= maxx(allselected(Table),Table[date])
return
calculate(lastnonblankvalue(Table[date],Sum(Table[Total])),filter(allselected(Table),Table[Date]<_max))

Hi @amitchandak 

 

That works perfectly thank yo so much. Is there anyway to display the second las date as a seperate messure?

 

Thanks,

Boycie92

@Boycie92 , Create a measure in the same way as the last one and  in that use

max(Table[Date]) in place of Sum(Table[Total])
