SUM the MAX Values

Hi everyone,

 

I browsed through several topics but couldnt find an answer...so I am writing now 🙂

 

I have a Matrix with several Max Values. The Matrix has the granularity of "City". However, I want to SUM the MAX values for that given Country. 

 

Think of the values in the columns as people with blond, brunette and black hair. Hence in Germany we have 3 hair types in total and not 4 (which would be the sum). In Munich we have 1 hair type.

    I have found a solution on my own. It was after all more simple than I have initially thought.

    Value = 
MAXX( TABLE ,TABLE[Max value A] ) +
MAXX( TABLE ,TABLE[Max value B] ) +
MAXX( TABLE ,TABLE[Max value C] )

    raymond , If Max Value A , MAx Value B are column values not measure

    then try

    sumx(summarize(Table, Table[country], Table[city], "_1", CALCUALTE(Max(Table[Value]))), [_1])

      Thank you amitchandak and Nathaniel_C but unfortunately this wasnt working the way it was intended.

    Hey raymond ,

     

    the following should work:

     

     

    New Column = CALCULATE( MAX( myTable[Max Value A] ), ALLEXCEPT( myTable, myTable[City] ) ) + CALCULATE( MAX ( myTable[Max Value B] ), ALLEXCEPT( myTable, myTable[City] ) ) + CALCULATE( MAX ( myTable[Max Value C] ), ALLEXCEPT( myTable, myTable[City] ) )

     

     

     

    If you need any help please let me know.
    If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
     
    Best regards
    Denis

    Hi raymond ,

    You could try the following measure:

    Measure = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Max value A])+MAX('Table'[Max value B])+MAX('Table'[Max value C]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Country]=MAX('Table'[Country])))

     

    base  data:

     

    And final output:

    Wish it is helpful for you!

     

    Best Regards

    Lucien

      Thank you.

      I want to find out how many values generally occur for each country. In Germany only 3 attributes or traits occur. 

       

      Think of it as people with blond, brunette and black hair. Hence in Germany we have 3 hair types and not 4. In Munich we have 1 hair type.
