Assessing the max of two lines in DAX

Hi everyone, 

Im a beginner on power bi and dax and I've been struggling on a subject of my own. 

I was parsing the polls for 2024 and decided to make a data analysis subject about it. 

Unfortunately the answer to my question didn't exist as I searched on various forums. 

 

So, I need to calculate the maximum of two lines as per the image below. 

I thought about storing the values for each question poll in a variable but thing is, i don't think it is possible since power bi read 

each row. 

Would anyone have any ideas? Best regards

I would like to have the candidate name with the highest percent for each question_id poll over 2 or 3 rows

Hi, @FVM411 

try below

winner =
var name = table[candidate name]
var percentage = table[percantage]
var curr_qu_id = table[question_id]
return
Minx(
 filter(
    table,
    table[question_id] = curr_qu_id
),
 name &" "& percentage
)

Thank you for your answer but it doesn't work, i get the same result. capture 2.JPG
