closer date to a fixed date but the date some years is not included

Hello, I am learning Power bi, I want a new column with the date of 19/11 of every year, but in the row DATE sometimes there is not a date for 19/11 for every year, thus it has to search for the nearer date.

 

Many thanks

Hi,

This calculated column formula works

=CALCULATE(MAX(Data[DATE]),FILTER(Data,Data[Year]=EARLIER(Data[Year])&&Data[DATE]<=DATE(Data[Year],11,19)))

Hope this helps.
