    Hi vfx661 ,

     

    Here's the measure returns the result based on your scenario.

    my_desc = 
    VAR my_table = TOPN(1,'DESC_TABLE')
    return MAXX(my_table,[DESC])

    In addition to MAXX, MINX, if it is a numeric column, you can also use SUMX.

    Also you can use summarize to return the single column.

    my_desc = 
    VAR my_table = TOPN(1,'DESC_TABLE')
    return SUMMARIZE(my_table,[DESC])
