Filter a Measure by the LastDate for a Category

[dmbd1904]

Hi, I have a simple Matrix Below. The rows are 'Calendar'[Month] & 'Commercial Reviews'[SubmissionType].

I have a measure to return a Budget = CALCULATE(AVERAGE('Commercial Reviews'[WOL Margin %]),'Commercial Reviews'[SubmissionType]="Budget").

Where the Budget is blank I would like another Measure 'Budget Lookup' to return the last Budget value by Date. So for Instance April and MAY should return 25% but September should remain at 19.8%.

I've made start with the DAX measure and i've tried a few things to filter on the lastdate but can't get it to work.

Budget Lookup =

CALCULATE(AVERAGE('Commercial Reviews'[WOL Margin %]),ALL('Calendar'[Month]),'Commercial Reviews'[SubmissionType]="Budget")

If they are on the last date of the month - you can use closingbalancemonth

@dmbd1904 ,

Modify your DAX like below:

Budget Lookup =

CALCULATE(AVERAGE('Commercial Reviews'[WOL Margin %]),FILTER(ALL('Calendar'[Month]),'Commercial Reviews'[SubmissionType]="Budget"))

Hi @Tahreem24 , thanks for the respoinse. Unfortunately that returns the following error....

A single value for column 'SubmissionType' in table 'Commercial Reviews' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result.

Also, would the measure need to use LastDate or similar in order to chose the latest budget values?
