    Hi  Anonymous ,

     

    In Power BI, the text type of data is available to use the Max () function, when your data with only one line of text, Max () function will be directly access to the value, when your data has more than one text, Max () function will be based on the order of the alphabetical sorting of the text to obtain the largest of these values.

MAX('Table'[Column 2])

    Thank you,

    If it is not number just text then still can we have the same logic?
