Querying recent data within a dataset

Hi All, 

 

I need some help putting together a DAX query using the below example. I have a dataset similar to the below and would need to query the most recent 'Status' for each entity. I've put together a sample dataset to help explain the issue I am facing:

 

 Date (dd/mm/yyyy)EntityStatus
101/01/2024Entity 1Inactive
201/01/2024Entity 2Inactive
302/01/2024Entity 2Active
403/01/2024Entity 1Active
503/01/2024Entity 3Active
604/01/2024Entity 2Inactive

 

I'm trying to see how I can retrieve the most recent Status for each Entity listed. With the above data, I would expect a response to show the following data:

 

- Entity 1: Active

- Entity 2: Inactive

- Entity 3: Active

 

Any assistance that could be provided would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!

@Ahmedx - Thanks for that. It had worked to a certain extent. Looking how I am retrieving / reporting the data, I am amending the original query.

 

Still using the below table as an example:

 

 Date (dd/mm/yyyy)EntityStatus
101/01/2024Entity 1Inactive
201/01/2024Entity 2Inactive
302/01/2024Entity 2Active
403/01/2024Entity 1Active
503/01/2024Entity 3Active
604/01/2024Entity 2Inactive

 

Is there a way for me to count the most recent status for each entity? The result will return the number based on the requested status within the query. If I query for 'Inactive' status, I would like to see '1' as the result since Entity 2 is the most recent entity to appear as Inactive. If I query for 'Active' status, I would like to see '2' as the result since 'Entity 1' and 'Entity 3' has their most recent status as Active. 

 

Hope that makes sense.

can you explain the logic in detail
and give a few examples where 1 or 2 or 3 suddenly exist
