    well, you can t use summarizecolumns in measure 

    try using addccolumns ( summarize ( .. )   instead .

     

    and for the return, just return   aggregation without the {  } .

    the { }  were only needed for the query not to be used in the measure. 

     

    hope this makes sense.

VAR _aggtable =
maxx(,
        FILTER(
            GROUPBY(
                _summarytable,
                [Distributor Type],
                "Number Of Customers", COUNTX( CURRENTGROUP(),1)
            ),
        [Distributor Type]="New Tank Distributor"
        ),
        [Number Of Customers]
        )

 

should be something like this.

Ah, sorry. the error states: The 3 argument to the MAXX function contains a flag that is not supported.

 

Its bizarre that converting a table value to scalar is this difficult.
