Hi, @username

Try to create a calculate column below:

_COL =
VAR _MAXValue =
    MAXX (
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Name] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[name] ) ),
        'Table'[Value]
    )
RETURN
    IF ( 'Table'[Value] = _MAXValue, 'Table'[Type], BLANK () )

If you want to summarize in another table you can create a calculate table using the following formula:

Table2 =
VAR _maxValue =
    SELECTCOLUMNS (
        'Table',
        "1", CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Value] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Name] ) )
    )
RETURN
    SUMMARIZE ( FILTER ( 'Table', [Value] IN _maxValue ), [Name], [Type] )

I created a simple sample to illustrate this.

Sample:

Result:

Table2:

Please refer to the attachment below for details

 

 

Is this the result you want? Hope this is useful to you

Please feel free to let me know If you have further questions
