Show only data from the latest date

Dear all, I have a very basic question. I constantly struggle with showing only the data with the newest date. What is the easiest way to get a visual only to show data from the most recent date.  ...

    Hi ChristianTD,

     

    Seems date type values don't have a "TOP" filter type. I would suggest you try the measure below and add it to the "Visual Level filter". Don't need to add it to any visual. Then filter the filter as "1". Please give it a try.

    Measure =
VAR LatestDate =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table1'[Date] ), ALL ( 'table1' ) )
RETURN
    IF ( MIN ( 'Table1'[Date] ) = LatestDate, 1, 0 )

    Best Regards,

    Dale

I used this same measure and I applied this on visual level filter and filtered as "1", it seems to be giving me min and max date but my other visuals are not reflecting according to date. I am very new to DAX and I dont know what I need to provide after filtered to "1" ? the filter pan has "And" "Or" selection and I don't know what condition I need to provide. Is that something affecting to my visuals and they are not updating? Please help me how can I resolve this.
