get value based on max date and match

Cases Table

2Created08:00
2Updated09:33
3Created14:00

 

Based on the two tables, I would like to create a column in Case Table with the "Latest Process Step" to get the Process Step of latest Timestamp & Total number of events:

 

Case IDValueLatest Process StepNumber of events
1xCompleted3
2yUpdated2
3zCreated1

 

How should I write the DAX to get the "Latest Process Step" and "Number of events"?

 

Thank you!

@alice11987  I would let you figure out "Number of Events" measure by yourself. I assumed cases and events are related.

 

For the first one, you can use this

MeasureFirst = 
CALCULATE (
    MAX ( events[Process Step] ),
    FILTER (
        events,
        events[TimeStamp]
            = CALCULATE ( MAX ( events[TimeStamp] ), ALLEXCEPT ( events, events[Case ID] ) )
    )
)

Hi, 

 

Thank you for your prompt help! May I know why do we need "ALLEXCEPT" function here?

 

thank you!

This does this

FILTER (
        events,
        events[TimeStamp]
            = CALCULATE ( MAX ( events[TimeStamp] ), ALLEXCEPT ( events, events[Case ID] ) )
    )

 

Case ID Process Step TimeStamp filterExpressionInternallyReturns-ALLEXCPT retains the filter on CASEID while doing this
