Delete or filter all rows except the latest row

[gsksarepta]

Hi.. I have this table below and I would like to create a sub table with only the latest row in it based on date. Can I know how to do this in Power query or DAX? I could do individual measures to get latest value but it needs too many measures. Having the latest row helps in creating visuals and update automatically with latest numbers. Thank you in advance.

try to create a new table with the code below:

Table = 

VAR _lastdate = MAX (Data[Date])

RETURN

CALCULATETABLE(

    Data,

    Data[Date]=_lastdate

)

Is it what you expect?

Hi

There are various ways to do this in Power Query or DAX 

but it is Froday and I feel lazy so let's try the quick and easy way ...

Create a blank report canvas.

Add your query will all data.

Add a table visual to your blank report canvas with all data.

Click on the table visual and expand the filter window.

clcik on date,

filter type = top n,

top = 1

by value = date

Yes! It is that easy 😎

Thanks for reaching out for help.
