Max Date as Dimension

Stewart Sims Mar 27, 2018 1:46 PM

I want to calculate the max date to use as a dimension. The other discussion I have seen around this only address this calculation as a measure (as far as I can tell)

Date	Date(Max(Date),'YYYY-MM-DD')
2018-03-01	2018-03-03
2018-03-02	2018-03-03
2018-03-03	2018-03-03

If I use this cacluation as a measure in a table, I get the expected result. But if I calculate it as a dimension, it gives me an invalid dimension error. I need to calculate it as a dimension to use on an axis of a bar chart.

May be try this -
if(Date=Max(Date),Date)
or
Aggr(if(Date=Max(Date),Date),Date)
or
Aggr(Only({<Date={$(=Max(Date)}>}Date)

  Thank you for the ideas... I was hopefull that adding the if statement would work, but unfortunately not.
  
  if(Date=Max(Date),Date) returned invalid dimension error
  
  Aggr(if(Date=Max(Date),Date),Date) returned the Date and not max date
  
  Aggr(Only({<Date={$(=Max(Date)}>}Date) returned invalid dimension error

    Your ideas helped and I got it to work by adding TOTAL to Max and wrapping it with AGGR.
    
    Date(Aggr(Max(TOTAL Date),Date),'YYYY-MM-DD')
