Position_Full CC = 
VAR _currentname = 'Table'[Name]
VAR _lookuptable =
    SUMMARIZE (
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Position] <> BLANK () ),
        'Table'[Name],
        'Table'[Position]
    )
RETURN
    MAXX (
        FILTER ( _lookuptable, 'Table'[Name] = _currentname ),
        'Table'[Position]
    )
