TOP1 measure with double filter

I'm stuck with a simple task and I need your help.

 

I have a simple dataset where I need to show top1 state by the number of alerts.

I can write a measure that calculates it correctly in case we have an obvious leader.

 

But when there are several states with the same number of alerts, I need to show the one that was recorder most recently.

Other than that I shouls show the number of alerts over this period of time.

 

Please help

Please try this expression.  Note that your original measure was not correct as it did not have CALCULATE() around the COUNT.  This expression makes a virtual table with the states, their counts, and a small # (<1) to differentiate based on most recently reported.  The sum of these is used to get a single Top 1.  Note you could have concatenated your Top1 so that if a tie occurs both would show.

 

Top1 New =
VAR summary =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            DISTINCT ( Sheet1[State] ),
            "cCount",
                CALCULATE (
                    COUNT ( Sheet1[Alerts] )
                ),
            "cDays",
                1
                    / (
                        2
                            CALCULATE (
                                DATEDIFF (
                                    MAX ( Sheet1[Date ] ),
                                    TODAY (),
                                    DAY
                                )
                            )
                    )
        ),
        "cTotal",
            [cDays] + [cCount]
    )
VAR maxtotal =
    MAXX (
        summary,
        [cTotal]
    )
RETURN
    MINX (
        FILTER (
            summary,
            [cTotal] = maxtotal
        ),
        Sheet1[State]
    )

It works, thank you! I would need several days to understand what it does inside but it makes the job.

@Anonymous , I am assuming you need a rank tie breaker to overcome this

Hi @amitchandak ,

 

But what I see following this link is a simple ranking by kind of index column.

Sorry, looks like it doesn't apply to my example.
