DAX Time Intelligence - LASTDATE function

Description

Returns the last date in the current context for the specified column of dates.

Syntax

LASTDATE (<dates>) 

Parameters

Return Value

A table containing a single column and a single row with a date value.

Remarks

The dates parameter can be any of the following −

• A reference to a date/time column.

• A table expression that returns a single column of date/time values.

• A Boolean expression that defines a single-column table of date/time values.

Constraints on Boolean expressions −

• The expression cannot reference a calculated field.

• The expression cannot use CALCULATE function.

• The expression cannot use any function that scans a table or returns a table, including aggregation functions.

However, a Boolean expression can use any function that looks up a single value, or that calculates a scalar value.

When the current context is a single date, the dates returned by the DAX FIRSTDATE function and DAX LASTDATE function will be the same.

As DAX LASTDATE function returns a table that contains a single column and single value, it can be used as a parameter to any DAX function that requires a table in its parameters. Further, the returned value can be used wherever a date value is required.

Example

= LASTDATE (Sales [Date])
