Dax Conditional Formatting to Highlight Last Value
This is an illustration of a forecast. Forecast as of date which comes from my historical forecast table represents the date in which a forecast was updated(In this case the forecast is updated every month) and the matrix displays those values in columns by forecasted month using my Date table. I would like to be able to highlight the last value updated from that month but I can not wrap my head around the logic to apply in a dax formula.
Measure Conditional Format = VAR __ForecastMonth = MAX('Historical Forecast'[Forecast As Of Date]) VAR __Date = MAX( 'Date'[Date] ) VAR __MaxDate = MAXX ( FILTER( ALL( 'Date' ), 'Historical Forecast'[Forecast as of Date] = __ForecastMonth ), [Date] ) VAR __Result = IF( __Date = __MaxDate, 1, 0 ) RETURN __Result

JanaeWalker864 Tough to be exact since I have no idea about your table and column names. But maybe something like:
Measure Conditional Format = VAR __ForecastMonth = MAX('Forecast'[MonthYear]) VAR __Date = MAX( 'Dates'[Date] ) VAR __MaxDate = MAXX ( FILTER( ALL( 'Dates' ), [MonthYear] = __ForecastMonth ), [Date] ) VAR __Result = IF( __Date = __MaxDate, 1, 0 ) RETURN __ResultYou can then create a conditional formatting rule based on this measure where 1 is the last date in each forecast month.
This is what I compliled however, I received this error message

This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to a single unitMeasure Conditional Format = VAR __ForecastMonth = MAX('Historical Forecast'[Forecast As Of Date]) VAR __Date = MAX( 'Date'[Date] ) VAR __MaxDate = MAXX ( FILTER( ALL( 'Date' ), 'Historical Forecast'[Forecast as of Date] = __ForecastMonth ), [Date] ) VAR __Result = IF( __Date = __MaxDate, 1, 0 ) RETURN __Result
