Filter to most recent date

skeen503979

Hello, 

 

When working with a file that updates daily, how can you create a filter to only select the "most recent date"?  I know how to select specific dates but with data that evolves how can I be sure I'm displaying the latest results?

Thanks

@skeen503979,

 

Have you tried to use group by Max date then filter on that date using join tool:

1. Find the latest date using summarize tool.

2. Using join tool to keep only max date rows.

 

Hope this helps : )
