    Hi gclements,

     

    Could you check if this calculated column does the trick for you? For every Month record it will check whether the value is equal to the max month value of the associated ID. 

    MaxDatePerID =
IF (
    TestTable[Month]
        = CALCULATE (
            MAX ( TestTable[Month] ),
            FILTER ( TestTable, TestTable[ID] = EARLIER ( TestTable[ID] ) )
        ),
    1,
    0
)

     

     

    Hope it helps!

     

    Regards,

     

    Tim

Hi gclements 

What's the logic behind which month is the Max?

For A you have flagged Jan, but for C you have flagged Dec?

    It is to identify the maxium month value for each group.  So for group A the maxium month is Jan-21, therefore all rows for Jan-21 are flagged, for group B it is Feb-21...etc.

      Just to be a bit clearer, I am trying to calculate the 'IsMax' column.

      Your initial post had Dec21 in row 3 but I see that has now been corrected.  So the logic is clear now.  having Jan21 as the max didn't make sense with Dec21 in there.

        Yes sorry, I noticed there was a slight mistake in one of the months.
