summarize table and add new columns

I have a tall table: ID Status date 1 1 01-Jan 1 2 02-Jan 2 1 03-Jan 2 2 08-Jan 2 3 11-Jan 2 2 16-Jan 3 1 21-Jan 3 2 26-Jan 3 4 28-Jan 3 5 31-Jan I would like to make a short table, like this (each Status column shows the maximum date where the ID and status as as indicated): ID Status 1 Status 2 Status 3 Status 4 Status 5 current 1 01-Jan 02-Jan 2 2 03-Jan 16-Jan 11-Jan 2 3 21-Jan 26-Jan 28-Jan 31-Jan 5 I tried various combinations in DAX using SUMMARIZE(),SELECTCOLUMNS(),MAX(),: Status Changes = max(SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER(Table1,Table1[ID]=1),"Status 1",Table1[date])) as well as searching for similar messages: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Summarize-table-and-add-new-column/m-p/557901/highlight/tru... https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Add-a-new-column-to-a-summarized-table/m-p/202929/highlight... To no avail. Any suggestions are appreciated.

hi, @Anonymous

I'm afraid it is difficult achieve in DAX, this has changed table structure. and unless you use use a matrix visual to show the result and do not show current value in visual.

here is the pbix file, please try it.

hi, @Anonymous

Your expected output is a bit messy, and if I understand you correctly, you could try this way as below:

First add a current status column

In Edit Queries, Duplicate the basic table use Group by and merge function like this post.

Second use Pivot column function like below:

Select Status column and then click Transform->Pivot column

Result:

and here is pbix file, please try it.

By the way, you could change another browser eg. IE, It will be well.

Apologies for the messy post, the webpage is not letting me input in html, nor is it recognizing new line characters
