Hi @Varun51 ,

 

Try this:

CALCULATE(
    MAX(table[Sales]),
    ALLEXCEPT(
        talbe,
        talbe[Category]
    )
)

Or this:

Measure = 
MAXX(
    SUMMARIZE(
        talbe,
        talbe[Category],
        "Sales", MAX(table[Sales])
    ),
    [Sales]
)

Many methods can be used to find the maximum value in groups.

Put Category in a table visualization, you can just use MAX([Sales]), no need for MAXX.
