Get value from another column using MAXX
Hi there,
I have a measure that (1) creates a table, and (2) returns the max value for that table. It looks something like this:
measure = maxx(summarize('Table1','Table1'[Area],"Sales",[Sales]),[Sales])
If I understand how it works correctly what this does is
1. Summarize creates a table such as
| Area | Sales |
| North | 988 |
| East | 200 |
| West | 300 |
| South | 500 |
2. Maxx returns the max value for sales, that is, 988
What I want is a measure that returns "North" (the area with the max sales). I've been struggling a little but no luck, any help?
Cheers.
Give this a shot as well.
[Measure] is the measure you created which gets you maximum sales
Region with Max Sales = VAR maxsales = [measure] RETURN CALCULATE ( FIRSTNONBLANK ( Table1[Area], 1 ), FILTER ( ALL ( Table1[Area] ), [Sales] = maxsales ) )

Hi paa_paa
I think this measure gets close
Measure2 = VAR myGrouping = SUMMARIZECOLUMNS('Table1'[Area],"Grouped Sales",SUM('Table1'[Sales])) VAR myMaxValue = MAXX(myGrouping,[Grouped Sales]) RETURN MAXX( FILTER( myGrouping, [Grouped Sales] =myMaxValue) , [Area] )Give this a shot as well.
[Measure] is the measure you created which gets you maximum sales
Region with Max Sales = VAR maxsales = [measure] RETURN CALCULATE ( FIRSTNONBLANK ( Table1[Area], 1 ), FILTER ( ALL ( Table1[Area] ), [Sales] = maxsales ) )
Thanks to both!
I ended up using Zabair's solution, but probably both of them work, as from what I could gather they both use the same concept (filter the table for the value)
Zabairs one was pretty much a copy of mine. Not sure why he replied when I had already provided a more efficient solution that didn't require a calculate.
