Calculate the most recent date by ID

[jtooke]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to return a column with the most recent date by ID for a given set of data. Below is a sample set of data. In my table I have three columns Name, Name ID, and Date. The fourth column would be a calculated column, and return the most recent date by the unique NameID column. Is there a way that I can do this? Thank you!

Name	NameID	Date	CALCULATED - Most Recent by Name ID
Mark	1	3/15/2019	4/7/2020
John	2	6/3/2020	6/3/2020
Tom	3	8/7/2020	11/1/2020
Tom	3	8/7/2020	11/1/2020
Tom	3	8/7/2020	11/1/2020
Sarah	4	2/1/2018	2/1/2018
Kim	5	7/6/2017	7/6/2017
Mark	1	4/7/2020	4/7/2020
Tom	3	11/1/2020	11/1/2020
Steve	6	3/2/2019	3/2/2019

@jtooke - Does this meet your requirement?

HASONEVALUE hides the 'Total' row for the measure.

Measure = 
IF(
    HASONEVALUE('Table'[NameID]),
    CALCULATE(
        MAX('Table'[Date]),
        ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[NameID])
    ),
    BLANK()
)

Thank you for the response @ChrisMendoza . When I try this measure all that returns is blanks?

[ChrisMendoza]

Try below first then and see if you like the output.

    CALCULATE(
        MAX('Table'[Date]),
        ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[NameID])
    )

Hm, that doesn't quite work either. With that formula the column just shows the same date as in the initial column.
