Trying to calculate most recent classification

Suppose there are three columns:   CLIENT | Classification | Date 1          |   A                  | 1/1/2016 1          |   A                  | 1/1/2016 1          |   B                  | 2/...

    How about this?

     

    Classification on Last Date =
    IF (
        HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[Client] ),
        CALCULATE (
            LASTNONBLANK ( 'Table'[Classification], 1 ),
            LASTDATE ( 'Table'[Date] )
        ),
        BLANK ()
    )

    Good Luck! :smileyhappy:

Can you have different classification in same day for a client?

 

Using your sample Data i have this result

Well this is odd, are you sure you copied in the duplicate dates?

I am also using the sample data and I recieve the multiple values error.

 

the measure:

class2 = CALCULATE(VALUES(Testtable[class]),LASTDATE(Testtable[date]))

 

the data: Testtable

    Ah the problem was in the "totals" option again, why must that be turned to off for this to work?

      For some reason when i try to use this solution with my real data the "General" section of format is not available? so i can't turn off totals.

    To solve the error you can put the Table's Total OFF.

     

    The error appears because in totals, you have 2 or more rows with last date (Example: 4/1/16). If you don't want to switch off the totals you need to add to dax formula:

     

     

     Class2 = IF(HasOneValue(Testtable[client]),CALCULATE(VALUES(Testtable[class]),LASTDATE(Testtable[date])))
