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

Hi v-jiascu-msft ,

I am very new to PowerBI and have tried the accepted solution above. However, I don't understand how to set the visual filter as 1. I am trying to pull the progress for the latest date. Please help me.

 

Regards,

Alwin
