Problem with MAXX

Hello Team,

 

I am trying to get the Maximum Score achieved by any Employee but it is getting filtered at employee level ,even after applying additional filters with ALL and REMOVEFILTER, there is 1 to many relationship frmo Dim_Employee TO Fact_employee_training

 

 

kipi_bi_1-1761655286740.png

Fact Table: 

  • EmployeeID,ProgramID,SkillID,CertificationID,CompletionDate,Score

     

     

    Dim_Table

    EmployeeID,FullName,Department,Location,JoiningDate,SkillName

 

Regards,

Ritz.

pls try

MaxTotalScorePerEmployee =
CALCULATE(
    MAXX(
        ADDCOLUMNS(
            SUMMARIZE(
                ALL(Dim_Employee),
                Dim_Employee[EmployeeID]
            ),
            "TotalScore", CALCULATE(SUM(FactEmployee_Training[Score]))
        ),
        [TotalScore]
    ),
    REMOVEFILTERS()
)
---------------or-------------
MaxTotalScorePerEmployee =CALCULATE(
MAXX(
    TOPN(
        1,
        ADDCOLUMNS(
            SUMMARIZE(
                ALL(Dim_Employee),
                Dim_Employee[EmployeeID]
            ),
            "TotalScore", CALCULATE(SUM(FactEmployee_Training[Score]))
        ),
        [TotalScore],
        DESC
    ),
    [TotalScore]
),
    REMOVEFILTERS()
)

    [TotalScore]

    REMOVEFILTERS()

Thanks a lot, it worked 

Can you let me know why we need to add ADD COLUMNS to get the answer ?

The SUMMARIZE function uses a clustering method. Read more about it here.

Also, keep in mind that using the REMOVEFILTERS() function ensures that all filters are removed.

Max Score All Employees =
CALCULATE(
MAX(Fact_employee_training[Score]),
REMOVEFILTERS(Dim_Employee)
)

MAX(Fact_employee_training[Score]) finds the highest score in the fact table.

REMOVEFILTERS(Dim_Employee) ignores all filters from the employee dimension, giving the maximum score across all employees regardless of employee-level filters.

@kipi_bi 

Max Score All Employees =
CALCULATE(
MAX(Fact_employee_training[Score]),
ALL(Dim_Employee)
)

 

 

This ignores all filters from the employee dimension and returns the maximum score across all employees.

Thanks but it did not work, max will go to the row level which we would like to avoid
