    Thanks Greg,

     

    Have you usually used MAX function in Power BI like in my situation as well?

    Did you try the same function in SSAS Tabular(SSDT) to make measure in it?

     

    When Power BI is connected with SSAS Tabular is the same, it doesn't work MAX function even I make report level measure in Power BI.

      No, generally not with SSAS Tabular, just in Power BI Desktop against an imported data set. Although, that is supposed to be SSAS Tabular under the hood so ?

      Very strange.

        Yes, It is very strange.

        I cannot figure out any clue at all that can make different work.
