Max Value of two variables

Hello 

 

Please see table below - I am trying to calculate the 'Max of both Colours Column'. 

 

I am trying to calculate the Max In Stock of the two colours from the Shop provided, in a column. For example, Shop A has Black_A and Black_B, and i would like to calculate the max In Stock value of them both, and create a column of that, in this case 1. At the same time, i would also like to find out the MAX in stock value of Silver_A and Silver B. I would like to do this for multiple shops

 

We havent got anywhere with this, but would appreciate your help!

 

Thanks

When you say max of both colors, do you mean color is BLACK or SILVER?

This is the difficulty i have, nothing groups them - i need to pick them out of the column and find the max in stock value between them.

 

Thanks again

Assuming your colours always have schema colour_x and only the part on the left of "_" counts, you can use following calculated column:

 

Max of colours = 

   MAXX(
    FILTER (
        Tabelle1,
        Tabelle1[Shop] = EARLIER ( Tabelle1[Shop] ) && LEFT(Tabelle1[Colour], FIND("_", Tabelle1[Colour])) = LEFT(EARLIER(Tabelle1[Colour]), FIND("_", EARLIER(Tabelle1[Colour])))
           
    ), Tabelle1[In Stock?])
