    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.

    Calculated columnÇ

    Column 3 =
MAX('Table'[Column 2])

Hi  Anonymous ,

 

If it's text, you might consider using Max(), but this function takes the maximum value in the column of the calculation

MAX function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn

MAX('Table'[Test1])

Or you can use the Value() function to convert it to an integer type, before using the sum() function.

VALUE function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn

Hi, 

I meant if it is just letter like 'TEST' not numbers 1457.3, 

then still can use Max function?
