sum of max values when selcting multiple slicer values

Hi,

Below is the data, i have category and value fields. and Month as slicer.

each month has different values and i needd to take only max value of each month.

 

and here i am taking max value easily.

 

 

here the problem is.. when i select multiple months from slicer.

i need sum value of the max.

fo example. Month1 Appls has 15 as max value and in month 2 max value is 35.

when i select both months. i need to show 50 for Apple.

but here it is taking max value of the both months.

 

need help how to acheive this.

@Pragati11 

thanks for your prompt response. this works for me.

 

Yes, i have gone through the links you gave below earlier.

But in their case they just want to show max values.

 

However in my case i need to show max values with cummulative sum based on slicer seelction.

 

All trick and magic lied in Summarize function.

 

So, i tweaked my DAX now it is working fine. 🙂

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Can you paste this as a table please rather than a screenshot so that I can copy paste at my end?
