    maybe

     

    VAR __last = MAXX(FILTER('Table',NOT(ISBLANK('Table'[comment])),[date])

    RETURN

    MAXX(FILTER('Table',[date]=__last),[comment])

I was able to get the result with this. Now, if I wanted to add additional filters such as "if comment table contains this" or "only if reporter is this person etc.", how would I incorporate that to this measure? Is not a big deal but was just curious.

So,

 

VAR __last = 
  MAXX(
    FILTER(
      'Table',
      ( NOT(ISBLANK('Table'[comment]) || <some other condition> ) && <this condition also>
    ),
    [date]
  )
RETURN
  MAXX(FILTER('Table',[date]=__last),[comment])

 

It's just logic that you can string together with || for OR and && for AND and you can use parens ( ) to group things.
