DAX measure to show the max customers count and the corresponding date by grouping of date field

manojsv19 — Sun, 24 Nov 2019 18:27:13 GMT

Hello All,

I have a requirement to create a DAX measure to calculate to show the max customers count by grouping them on date and to display the corresponding day with max customers count. I am using directy query and not storing any data inside Power BI

Below is the dummied data table to illustrate my scenario.Here, i wanted to calcualate the sum of customers count by grouping them on Date column, then display the date with maxium customers count and also want to display the max customers count.

I have also provided the table after grouping by date. At the end, i wanted to display the max customers count (946) and the corresponding date (11/13/2019).

I would appreciate any suggestions or feedback to get the max customers count and the corresponding date field using DAX measure in Direct Query.

Fact Table

Date	Customers Count
11/1/2019	230
11/1/2019	150
11/1/2019	245
11/2/2019	165
11/2/2019	176
11/2/2019	185
11/13/2019	56
11/13/2019	320
11/13/2019	120
11/13/2019	450
11/24/2019	190
11/24/2019	120
11/24/2019	340
11/24/2019	230

Table after grouping the data based on date field

Date	Customers Count
11/1/2019	625
11/2/2019	526
11/13/2019	946
11/24/2019	880

Thank you!!

Hello manojsv19 ,

Try this:First measure

Max Count of Customers on one day = VAR _newTable = ADDCOLUMNS ( 'Table', "Sum of customers per d", CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Customers Count] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[ Date] ) ) ) VAR _newTableMax = MAXX ( _newTable, [Sum of customers per d] ) RETURN _newTableMax

Created a calculated column

Sum of customers per date = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Customers Count]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[ Date]))

Last measure

Date with highest count of customers = var _maxCount = MAX('Table'[Sum of customers per date]) return CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[ Date]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[ Date]),'Table'[Sum of customers per date]=_maxCount))

Let me know if you have any questions.

If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos 👍are nice too.

Hi manojsv19 ,

Figured out the syntax of a the virtual table so that you don't need to create a calculated column. This replaces the last measure.

Date with highest count of customers 2 = VAR _newTable = ADDCOLUMNS ( 'Table', "Sum of customers per d", CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Customers Count] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[ Date] ) ) ) VAR _newTableMax = MAXX ( _newTable, [Sum of customers per d] ) var _calc = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[ Date]),FILTER(_newTable,MAX([Sum of customers per d] )= _newTableMax)) RETURN _calc

Let me know if you have any questions.
