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

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()
)

    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.
