Hi all, new to Power BI and I'm really stuck. We collect telemetry data from our users periodically. It comes in as key value pairs and we insert it into a DB basically like so:
CUSTOMER_ID INSERTION_ID KEY VALUE
1 1 RULE BOB
1 1 TIME XXX
2 17 RULE JIM
2 17 TIME YYY
1 45 RULE BOB
1 45 TIME ZZZ
Every time a bunch of key/value pairs are inserted they use the same INSERTION_ID, which is globally unique.
I wanted to make a visualisation that showed me the most recent data for customers. What I thought I would need to do is first make another table which had DISTINCT CUSTOMER_ID, along with the highest INSERTION_ID for that CUSTOMER_ID. That way I could then use the INSERTION_ID from that table as the axis.
What I haven't been able to do is find the highest INSERTION_ID and put it into a new column in that table. I've tried FILTER, SELECTCOLUMNS along with MAX but MAX needs a column and not a table that is returned by the former 2.
Does anyone know what I can do here? Is there a better way to achieve what I want? The visualisation is so I can see the # of RULEs that each customer has but only for the most recent submission from that customer. I realise I can add a new record to the DB at insertion time but I was hoping I could do this dynamically.
Thanks
A
