Calculating Text Field with Date Filter

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I wanted to format my date in a different way, so I created a Calculated Column using DAX to have it as "mm/dd/yyyy ddd". However, when I put [Date of Incident NewNew] inside a Card Visual, for the "Last Date", it does not return me with the latest date. How do I create a measure, where the [Date of Incident NewNew] is returned, with the latest [Date of Incident]. Will appreciate any help!

 

You can see here that the latest date is 09/22/2018, not 12/21/2017

Much appreciated!!

hi, @Anonymous

    Because the data type of field Date of Incident NewNew is Text. so the last value is sort by text not by date.

You can add a measure to achieve it.

Measure 3 = CALCULATE(VALUES(Table2[Date of Incident NewNew]),FILTER(Table2,MAX(Table2[Date])=Table2[Date]))

Result:

Instead of creating Text column.

Click on the Column or measure highlight it.

Then go to Modeling tab. Formatting section, click on Format: drop down.

Find the format of your choice (MM/dd/yyyy)
