Power BI — Latest Value

Problem Statement: In the given data filter and show only the most recent row based on date/version etc.

** Don’t forget to check Microsoft Fabric information below

Data: I have taken data where we have ID and date along with status. And we would like to show the latest status.

Solution: We will use a DAX measure for that.

I have loaded the data to the power bi file and created the following DAX measure

DAX Code

Last Status = var _max = maxx(filter(ALLSELECTED(Data), Data[ID] = Max(Data[ID])), Data[Date]) 
return
CALCULATE(max(Data[Status]), filter((Data) , Data[Date] =_max))

You can find the file on Power BI Community. Please like and share.
