Custom Function to lookup Date from another table with filter
- 5 years ago
Hi msommerf
Since all tables have the AssetID field, you could try below code to create a column.
Last Inspection 2 = MAXX ( FILTER ( bi_vw_InspectionCompleted, bi_vw_InspectionCompleted[AssetID] = bi_vw_wr_AssetIncidentReport[AssetID] && bi_vw_InspectionCompleted[Inspection Completed] < bi_vw_wr_AssetIncidentReport[Date_Occured] ), bi_vw_InspectionCompleted[Inspection Completed] )If you want to try Power Query, you could add below steps to bi_vw_AssetIncidentReport query. I'm not sure whether this would run into memory resource issues when large data is loaded, you may have a try. I attach the pbix for your reference.
#"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(#"Changed Type", {"AssetID"}, bi_vw_InspectionCompleted, {"AssetID"}, "bi_vw_InspectionCompleted", JoinKind.LeftOuter), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Merged Queries", "Custom", each List.Max(let occurredDate = [Date_Occured] in List.Select([bi_vw_InspectionCompleted][Inspection Completed], each _ < occurredDate))), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"bi_vw_InspectionCompleted"})Regards,

A sincere thank you for going to the trouble of finding a solution by mocking up tables etc.
The DAX solution shown above has solved my issue.
I can now do an incremental refresh with a years worth of data.
👍
Thank you so much.

Mark.
