Return Max Value on One Side of Relationship

Jerid421 — Thu, 29 Oct 2020 01:10:26 GMT

I am trying to populate a calculated column on the one side (dimState) of a relationship with the MAX() of all the values associated to those records on the many side (factJobOpenings) of the relationship.

I have this so far but it is returning the MAX of ALL the values in the fact table column ([AvgStatePlacementDays], not for each of the States:

20YrAvgDaystoPlace = CALCULATE(MAX(factJobOpenings[AvgStatePlacementDays]), FILTER(factJobOpenings,factJobOpenings[StateID] = RELATED(dimState[StateID])))

Hi Jerid421

I'm not sure what you are trying to do with the RELATED( ). Try:

0YrAvgDaystoPlace = CALCULATE( MAX( factJobOpenings[AvgStatePlacementDays] ) )

Please mark the question solved when done and consider giving a thumbs up if posts are helpful.

Contact me privately for support with any larger-scale BI needs, tutoring, etc.

Cheers

I changed the title of the post as it incorrectly said "Many" instead of "One". That might explain what I'm trying yo do with the Related() function. Sorry!

Jerid421 if the calculated column is in DimState table,try this

MAXX(RELATEDTABLE(factJobOpenings),factJobOpenings[AvgStatePlacementDays])

This worked perfectly. I tried MAXX() (becuase I thought I needed and iterator) but I must not have used it correctly. Thanks!
