reading last date into a table

i need read the last date from the table "opportunities\Opp. Ext. Close Date" (see the pictures below)

I did it in other PBI file where the date was in this format "dd\mm\yy" using "Lastdate" command but in this case it doesn't work

Hi @AlessandroBet ,

You can try to put the target Date into the Card visual in the fields, and adjust it to 'Latest Date'

If all your date are in DD/MM/YYYY format and you want that as the format, check the setting - https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/How-to-apply-UK-date-format-dd-mm-yyyy-in-Date-slicer/td-p/...

 

Otherwise try that it detected as date with correct format. After that Max/Last date will work

it is not depending from date format. It depends from kind of data inside the table.
