MAX Function disrupts Table Visaul

Hi. I created a Measure that uses the MAX function when attempting to identify  vPerentageOccupied= MAX ( [TableA] ! [PAX]) / MAX ( [TableA] ! [CAPACITY])  The Measure works just fine when the Fil...

hkillen What is that syntax? I tried that syntax and that did not work at all. Should be:

vPerentageOccupied= MAX ( 'TableA'[PAX]) / MAX ( 'TableA'[CAPACITY])

I don't see why that wouldn't work in a table where ID is included. 

I tried with this table:

Table = 
    ADDCOLUMNS(
        GENERATESERIES(1,10000),
        "PAX",RANDBETWEEN(0,175),
        "CAPACITY",200
    )

and a visual that included an unsummarized [Value] and the measure and got subsecond response time.

    I'm referring to a Table Visual (i.e., Card, MultiCard, Matrix, Table)...not a Data Table imported or a Table created from DAX.

      hkillen ? I don't know what you mean by that. I have never seen that syntax in DAX or the ability to refer to a visualization in DAX so no idea what you mean.

        I have a Table VISUAL...that'd I'd like to populate with Columns and Measures.

        The Table VISUAL has displayed every ID.

        I have no challenges adding Column (i.e. Fields) to the Table VISUAL.

        A couple of Measures I'm attempting to add...I am having challenges.  The common denominator I have identified in the Measures is, perhaps, use of the MAX() Function.  Is there a different function I can used that will provide the values from an imported DATA table that align with the unique ID indicated in the VISUAL table?
