Top 1 value and best month from Measure

Dear Friend,

I have two tables, Calendar(Date,Month) and Sales(Date,Sales) Tables. I calculated Measure1 using dax with help of Dates column and Sales Column from Sales Table.The output of Measure1 as shown below by Calendar(Month).

Calendar(Month)Measure1
Jan-2420
Feb-2410
Mar-2430
Apr-2415

 

I have Month Slicer on report.

Requirement: when I select any month slicer i want to get top 1 value where Month<=Max(month) from Measure1. For example: i select Feb-24 , output will be Measure2=20 and MonthTop=Jan-2024, or when i select Apr-2024 the output will be Measure2=30 and MonthTop=Mar-2024. How can i achieve this using DAX.

Create the following measures.

Measure1 = SUM(Sales[Sales])
Measure2 =
VAR a =
    ADDCOLUMNS ( ALL ( Sales ), "Month", EOMONTH ( [Date], 0 ) )
VAR b =
    SUMMARIZE ( a, [Month], "Sales", [Measure1] )
RETURN
    MAXX (
        FILTER ( b, [Month] <= EOMONTH ( MAX ( 'Calendar'[Date] ), 0 ) ),
        [Sales]
    )
Measure3 =
VAR a =
    ADDCOLUMNS ( ALL ( Sales ), "Month", EOMONTH ( [Date], 0 ) )
VAR b =
    SUMMARIZE ( a, [Month], "Sales", [Measure1], "Max_Sales", [Measure 2] )
RETURN
    FORMAT (
        MAXX (
            FILTER (
                b,
                [Sales] = [Max_Sales]
                    && [Month] <= EOMONTH ( MAX ( 'Calendar'[Date] ), 0 )
            ),
            [Month]
        ),
        "MMM-YYYY"
    )

Then put the measures to the visual.

To get the top 1 value,

Get Top 1 Measure1 = CALCULATE( Max('Table'[Measure1]), 'Table'[Calendar(Month)] <= Max('Table'[Calendar(Month)]))

 

To get the month based on the top 1 value,

Get Top 1 Measure1 CM = 
var _s = CALCULATE( Max('Table'[Measure1]), 'Table'[Calendar(Month)] <= Max('Table'[Calendar(Month)]))

RETURN CALCULATE(max('Table'[Calendar(Month)]), FILTER(all('Table'), 'Table'[Measure1] = _s))

Samples of output

Dear Friend,

 

Thanks for your reply, Measure1 is the measures not column, that used already many columns and many condition like date<=max(date) and more. i need to get top 1 value as mentioned above. 

 

@Ashish_Mathur  i can't share PBIX file because of confidentially.
