Getting values and filtering a virtual table

Hi all, I need to create a table inside the measure (not as another table) and get values from there. 

If I run as below, it works fine

I see the table is Ok

How to write an expression that works for specific columns? 

For example:

MAX(_index[Value2) ... that will return 3.1  ... or
FILTER(_index,[Value1] = 2 ... to select that specifc row

@gdecome , You can try like

MAXX(_index,_index[Value2]))

 

MAXX(filter(_index,_index[Value2] =2),_index[Value3])

 

You have use functions which take table name as one of the argument

Thanks @amitchandak but it is not working yet. It is not recognizing the table

Hi @amitchandak , I could solve the problem removing the table name before the column name.

MAXX ( _index , [Value2] )
Thank you for your help
