Try using FirstSortedValue() , like:

=FirstSortedValue(Amount, -Month)                 //This would work if your month field is a dual field

 

Also, if you have multiple transactions against a single month, you have to use sum() along with aggr(), like:

=FirstSortedValue(Aggr(Sum(Amount), Month), -Month)

And if your month field is a text field, try like:

=FirstSortedValue(Aggr(Sum(Amount), Month), -Date#(Month, 'MMM'))

Its is working for one product but if i select two product type as dimension or if there is no filter then the chart giving wrong blank values for some product. 

 

Can you please give any other way ?

May be try this

=FirstSortedValue(
   Aggr(
     Sum(Amount)
   , [Product type], [Asset Year], [Asset Quarter], [Asset Month]),
  -Aggr(
     [Asset Month]
   , [Product type], [Asset Year], [Asset Quarter], [Asset Month])
)

 actually i need to make this measure as dynamic master measure so that it can work for any dimension. So we cant add Product type in aggr level. Product type   can be change to product name or something else.

How do you change the dimension in the chart? May be you can use the same logic to change the dimension in your expression

i am creating master measure for a self service app. So this measure will be used in any chart . So basically requirement is to make two measure one for latest month amount of each quarter & latest month amount of each year.

May be use GetObjectField to dynamically get the dimension from your object. This might not be perfect, but you can play around with the idea to make this work for you.

=FirstSortedValue(
   Aggr(
     Sum(Amount)
   , $(=GetObjectField(0)), $(=GetObjectField(1)), $(=GetObjectField(2)), [Asset Month]),
  -Aggr(
     [Asset Month]
   , $(=GetObjectField(0)), $(=GetObjectField(1)), $(=GetObjectField(2)), [Asset Month])
)

i got your point. But i try  this option , i didn't find any mistakes in the  syntax but its giving invalid.

IS there any other option with out using fisrtsortedvalue function?

No of dimension can vary  as its self service app. So is there any other way to achieve this  with out using first sorted value function?
