How to filter to see only rows where the ID has the newest Date?

I Have a Table as seen in the picture above. I only want to see the rows where the IDs have the newest Value. A seen in the Picture below:

Ideally you solve that in the model or the database level directly by having a view with the "current" values of your rows.

You could try by adding a rank on date by ID and only keep the rows with 1. Keep in mind the pre & post aggregation filtering issue, so you could look into selection step to keep only the rows you are after (for a post-aggregation filter).

Thank you Gianni. Perhaps you can give me another hint? I did at a new column with this Column formula:

RANK("Date")

then i get 1,2,3,4 and 5 in the cells. I don't quite get how to insert the "by ID" expression without error:

RANK('Date') BY 'ID'  does not work and gives Syntax Error

RANK('Date') FROM 'ID'  does not work and gives Syntax Error

RANK('Date') FROM ('ID')  does not work and gives Syntax Error

You were really close ;-)

The "BY" goes inside the brackets.

RANK("table"."column" BY "table"."column") , you should always use the "table"."column" syntax to reference columns in an analysis in OBIEE/OA (assuming that's the product you use as you posted in this category).
