max(MyMeasure) doesnt work...

[Anonymous]

I have my measure:

DIVIDE

(

   SUM(Fact[Hours])  -   CALCULATE (SUM( Fact[Hours2]) ,  ALL(Fact) ,  Fact[Type]="D" ),

   SUM(Fact[Hours])

)

It works fine.

But now I want to use it in another measure to do:

SUM(Fact[Hours])   * MAX(MyMeasure)

And it doesn’t work…  Why can't I do MAX(MyMeasure)?

MAX of mymeasure in which dimension?

I have a fake "Measures" table where I store all my measures.

(I created it using DATATABLE, this approach was recommended from sqlbi website)

Hi @Anonymous ,

As far as I know, you don't need to use MAX() to use a measure, you can use it directly in your code.

MAX() only support to use a column.

Measure = 
SUM(Fact[Hours])   * [MyMeasure]

If you want to get MAX from the measure, you can try MAXX().

Measure = 
SUM ( Fact[Hours] ) * MAXX ( VALUES ( 'TableName'[KeyColumn] ), [MyMeasure] )
