SUM MAX Values per Country

[lherbert501]

Hi,

I have a layout like below, and I currently obtain the max for each country for 1 year sales which is UK - 55 and US 25 which is correct, on their own.

My problem is when I select the country slicer to all and I need to sum both max values. The values for 1 year sales comes out many times in my data which is why I'm having a problem just summing both countries last 1 year sales and give me 80.

Could somebody please help me get 80 and sum both max values per country

Country	1 Year  Sales	cat
UK	55	1
US	25	2
US	25	3
UK	55	4
US	25	5
UK	55	5

@lherbert501 This looks like a measure aggregation problem. See my blog article about that here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Design-Pattern-Groups-and-Super-Groups/ba-p/138149

The pattern is:
MinScoreMeasure = MINX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
MaxScoreMeasure = MAXX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
AvgScoreMeasure = AVERAGEX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
etc.

In your case you would use SUMX. If the issue is a Power BI table or matrix total, it's effectively the same solution but see this:

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Hi @lherbert501 ,

I’d like to acknowledge the valuable input provided by the @Greg_Deckler . Their initial ideas were instrumental in guiding my approach. However, I noticed that further details were needed to fully understand the issue. 

1. Create a measure to calculate the maximum sales per country.

Max Sales per Country =
CALCULATE(
MAX('Table'[1 Year Sales ]),
ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[Country])
)

2. Create a measure to calculate the sum of the maximum sales.

Sum of Max Sales =
SUMX(
VALUES('Table'[Country]),
[Max Sales per Country]
)

If your Current Period does not refer to this, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

Best Regards,

Clara Gong
