Retrieve values from rows where monthly max occurs.

I have a situation where my boss wants to know the date, hour and values of our generation data for each month.  This is breaking my brain.  We have 5 years of hourly data. Here what I envision the results looking like.

The problem I have is that instead of showing the values from the individual row (hour) the results just give the peak of each resource for the entire month.  I need the values from the hour that the Peak Generation occurs each month.  Not the peak of each resource for the entire month.

Hi @heberpower 

I think you want to show the max Hour per month.

You can try to build a matrix visual and use a measure filter in this visual.

My Sample:

1.png

Measure:

Measure = 
VAR _MaxHourPerMonth = MAXX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Year]=MAX('Table'[Year])&&'Table'[Month]=MAX('Table'[Month])),'Table'[Hour])
VAR _MaxDate = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Date]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Year]=MAX('Table'[Year])&&'Table'[Month]=MAX('Table'[Month])&&'Table'[Hour]=_MaxHourPerMonth))
RETURN
IF(MAX('Table'[Date])=_MaxDate,1,0)

Result is as below.

Set the measure to show items when the value is 1.

I see what is happening here, you are getting the max hour per month, actually I need the row with the max Peak Generation in each month.  I do not know how to do this.  I really do appreciate your help!

Hi,

On a small dataset, please show the expected result.

Thanks for the idea!  I think you are on the right track but when I use that measure I end with with the results from the last day of every month. Do you have any idea what I have done wrong?

This is a small datasetdata_set.jpg

 

And here are the desired results.  I need to retrieve 1 row for each month where the "Peak" is the MAX during that month.  Like this:

Thanks!
