need help with dax for sum of MAX month

[Maheshguptaz]

Hi,

I've encountered an issue with a DAX query. I need to show the max month's numbers from the selected values. i.e
if I choose Jun, July and Aug, I should be able to see the sum of value for Aug alone and no other values from other months.

here's the dax I use:

Close Positions Select Month =

VAR _pos =

CALCULATE(

    SUM('Close Position Report'[NumberofPositions]),

    LASTDATE('Close Position Report'[LastDate_Month]),

    ALLEXCEPT('Close Position Report','Close Position Report'[Job Level]))

RETURN

maxx(

    VALUES('Shared DW_DimDate'[Date].[Month]),

    _pos)

I can see the total being calculated correctly, however, when I use a Matrix to represent the same I see values from July are being shown in the column total (please refer to SC below):

This is the same case if I use any other column in the row.

can anyone help me figure this out to omit the values from other months apart from the max of selected month?

regards,
Mahesh

Hi All,
Fisrtly dharmendars007 thank you for your solutions!
And @Maheshguptaz for your question, this is because in the matrix, there will be a specific calculation environment, in the total column if you can not determine the value of the month of August, they automatically display the value of the month closest to August, we just need to add a filter condition on this basis to complete your needs!

_Close Positions Select Month = 
VAR _lastDate =SELECTEDVALUE(example_data[LastDate_Month],MAX('example_data'[LastDate_Month]))
VAR _pos =
   
   CALCULATE(SUM('example_data'[NumberofPositions]),'example_data'[LastDate_Month]=_lastDate)

VAR A=CALCULATE(MAX('example_data'[LastDate_Month]),ALLSELECTED('example_data'))
RETURN 
IF(ISINSCOPE('example_data'[Month]),
SUM('example_data'[NumberofPositions]),
IF(A=_lastDate,
_pos,
BLANK()
)
)

Check out my pbix file if you still have questions, I'd be honoured if my answer solves your problem!

Hello @Maheshguptaz , 

Please try the below measure and let us know if still it doesnt work..

Close Positions Select Month =
VAR LatestMonth =
MAXX(
VALUES('Shared DW_DimDate'[Date].[Month]),
'Shared DW_DimDate'[Date].[Month]
)

VAR Result =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Close Position Report'[NumberofPositions]),
FILTER(
ALLEXCEPT('Close Position Report', 'Close Position Report'[Job Level]),
'Close Position Report'[LastDate_Month] = LatestMonth
)
)

RETURN Result

Hi @dharmendars007 ,

Thank you for your swift response. 

I've tried the DAX that you provided and it still gives the same output.
