Distinct Counting while finding max value of another field and summing them.

Hello,

I have a table resembling the below.  Being rather new to PowerBI, I am attempting to figure out the viz I am looking for.

The requirement of the vis is that it has one column identifying the number of unique clientID (count distinct, pretty easy). But, in addition to that I want to sum up the number of household members for each unique ID where the value to sum on would be the maximum # of household members for each unique client. ID.  Not sure how to do this and would appreciate any input.  Max household members for each ClientID is of red color.

Table

@jwessel,

 

Try these measures:

 

Unique Clients = DISTINCTCOUNT ( Table1[ClientID] )
Household Members of Unique Clients = 
SUMX (
    VALUES ( Table1[ClientID] ),
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( Table1[HouseholdMembers] ) )
)
