Measure breaking with aggregation

[gsed99]

Hello,

I am trying to apply a simple MAX calculation to a YYYYMM field, and I know the MAX value in the whole table is 201804.

When I create a measure to calculate MAX, I use this formula: =MAX('MarketingSnapshot'[DateStampMonth]).

Initially it works fine, and shows 201804, but when I add in more rows that drill down, it starts to show other values, and I want this to always show the MAX based on the whole table, not matter how deep I aggregate.

Is this possible to have it MAX over the whole 'MarketingSnapshot' table, instead of being influenced by each line?

I am using a Measure not a Column, and I could see this problem occuring if I used a Column.
Thanks,

Greg

Try this:

MyMax = CALCULATE(MAX('MarketingSnapshot'[DateStampMonth]),ALL('MarketingSnapshot'))

Try this:

MyMax = CALCULATE(MAX('MarketingSnapshot'[DateStampMonth]),ALL('MarketingSnapshot'))

Thank you! This worked by itself, but do you know how I can put this in a Filter? I am getting the error saying too few arguments?

You cannot put a measure in a filter. See this post though on creating a calculated table with what you need then using that table value to be your filter.

Or, you could create a calculated column in your table using the function @Greg_Deckler gave as the column. Or create the value in Power Query as a caclulated column there and bring it into DAX that way.

Got it, thank you!
