Matrix Report for As On Date

I have to set filter for a report for As on date 
i.e i should only print the latest records in the report 
for eg if i apply filter 3/1/14
then i get following date 
1/1/14
2/1/14
3/1/14
so report should only print record for 3/1/14
and if 3/1/14 is not available in report like if i got 
1/1/14
2/1/14
for the same filter then the record for 2/1/14 should be printed
