DAX: Max function creates duplicate rows in my table

[Anonymous]

I am trying to limit the result of a calculation to only positive values using the MAX function, but everytime I use MAX in my calculation it blows up my pivot table by creating millions of rows.  Below is my DAX Formula...

ExcessBalance:=MAX([Average of Total Demand]- LOOKUPVALUE(Parameters[Value], Parameters[Parameter], "Max Balance - # of Days")*[Average of Total Demand], 0)

If I just use the calculation without MAX (below)  it works fine which leads me to believe that the MAX function is the problem.  

ExcessBalance:= Average of Total Demand]- LOOKUPVALUE(Parameters[Value], Parameters[Parameter], "Max Balance - # of Days")*[Average of Total Demand]

The LOOKUPVALUE is finding the "Max Balance - # of Days" row in the parameters table.  The parameters table is unrelated to the table where I am trying to create the DAX measure.

What am I doing wrong?  What further information do you need to help debug??

Thanks in advance!!
