Identify Which Measure provides Max Value

Good Afternoon,

I have the following setup:

Site Measure1 Measure2 Measure3
A 5500 5600 5400
B 3500 2500 4000

Using the following Measure, I can get the Max Value for each Site.

 

MaxValue = MAXX(
               {[Measure1],
                [Measure2],
                [Measure3] },
           [Value] )

 

  However, I also need to capture which Measure( 1, 2, or 3) provides that Max Value. 

Final Result:

A Measure2 5600
B Measure3 4000

Thanks and Best Regards,

Seems like your measure is giving the result you need for the number. Maybe you can then evaluate each measure and use a switch statement for the measure name. Something like

which measure = SWITCH(TRUE(),

[Measure1]=[MaxValue],"Measure 1",
[Measure2]=[MaxValue],"Measure 2",

[Measure3]=[MaxValue],"Measure 3")

 

this assumes only one measure is the max, otherwise you would need to concatenate the above.

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.

@MattAllington ,

Thank you Matt.  It took me a bit to figure out your logic, but I do think I got it to work.

 

Best Regards,
