In the power bi report you are trying to run the query against, build the query (table) to show the max value you are testing for. Then turn on and start visual analyzer and refresh the visual. This will then give you the exact dax query you need to use.

The run a query against a dataset step should be a power bi dataset, so with that dataset (in desktop) you can temporarily add a table to get your dax query and then discard it, it doesn't need to be published to the cloud, it's just the easiest way to get a prebuilt dax query

@Kellef

If I am not mistaken, Evaluate returns a table. I suspect that you just want the max date from a table. Why not just use a MAX expression without Evaluate?

Are you asking how to add the logic that checks the returned date and either send a report or waits 30 minutes?
