Last Date in Direct Query

Is there a way to only get the last datetime per serial in a direct query?

this actually did work on a data set but now I am trying to do it on another larger imported data set and get the below error message

I have used a meassure to get the last date but I am having a hard time figuring out how to target the last date record.

 

Last Date =
CALCULATE (
    LASTDATE ( Table[datetime] ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', Table[serialnumber] )
)

Hi @sbolton1855 ,

 

Not sure, where do you want to use it? If it is visual, create a measure like:

Measure = IF(MAX('Table'[datetime])=[Last Date],1)

And apply it to the visual filter:

If this doesn't work or I misunderstand your needs, please feel free to let me know. It would be great to have disinfection data and expected output.
