Max Weekday

Good morning,

 

I want to use a measure in the Data Card visual to calculate the weekday that most cases in my company happen but when I filter by year it does not calculate the max weekday correctly. This is the formula I have:

 

_Max Day = FORMAT(MAXX(
    DISTINCT(Data[DOTW]),
    CALCULATE(COUNT(Data[DOTW]),Data[DOTW] = EARLIER(Data[DOTW]))),"DDDD")
 
It works but when I add a year filter to the data card it filters wrong.

Hi  @New2This ,

 

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create measure.

Test =
var _table=
SUMMARIZE(
    ALLSELECTED('Data'),
    [DOTW],"Count",COUNTX(FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Data'),'Data'[DOTW]=EARLIER('Data'[DOTW])),[DOTW]))
RETURN
FORMAT(
    MAXX(
    FILTER(_table,[Count]=MAXX(_table,[Count])),[DOTW]),"dddd")

2. Result:

Hi! Here is what I used:

DayWithHighestRowCount =
VAR DayCounts =
    ADDCOLUMNS(
        SUMMARIZE(
            'Date',
            'Date'[DOTW Name]
        ),
        "RowCount", CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Sales'))
    )
VAR MaxDay =
    TOPN(
        1,
        DayCounts,
        [RowCount],
        DESC
    )
RETURN
    MAXX(MaxDay, 'Date'[DOTW Name])
 
It works regardless if I have a year filtered or not. No years - Tuesday is the highest:
