MAX/MIN measure

Hi all,

I need a help with MAX/MIN measure which will be checking the max/min sum of number of hours per person (by category). 

For example, based on below datasat the max sum number of hours per person for soft skills category should be displayed as 27.5 and min sum number of hour per person for technical category should be 21.  Also there will be few slicers on the page (like grade, country etc), so the min/max number should change accordingly to filters applied. 

 

Please help me with creating this min/max measure measure.

@joannasokolowsk , Try one of the two

 

minx(values(Table[name]), calculate(sum(Table[length in hours])))

or
minx(Summarize(Table,Table[category],Table[name]"_1", calculate(sum(Table[length in hours]))),[_1])

Hey,

Thank you for a such quick response! I added those measure but the result is not as expected ;/ 

For example for soft skills category the max should 27.5 as an "A" person has the highest sum number of hours for this category (person "B" has 11 hours for soft skills so it is smaller). When I apply this measure I see 38.5 which is the sum of total hours...

@joannasokolowsk , You can try measure like these

 

minx(values(Table[category]), calculate(sum(Table[length in hours])))

 

maxx(values(Table[category]), calculate(sum(Table[length in hours])))

 

For top Min or Max, you can use Rank or TOPN

For Rank Refer these links
