Show maximum value in an array

[Syndicate_Admin]

Hello, I hope you are well

I need to create a measure that allows you to display the maximum value of a column. The funny thing is that this value can vary depending on the filters used.

category	number	Maximum
A	0,54598347	0,94512971
B	0,02868099	0,94512971
C	0,5445268	0,94512971
D	0,19868194	0,94512971
E	0,09633249	0,94512971
F	0,94512971	0,94512971
G	0,02301643	0,94512971
H	0,61961557	0,94512971

I've tried MAXA and MAXX and the formula doesn't work for me 😞

Thanks a lot!

Hi @Syndicate_Admin ,

You could use ALL(), ALLSELECTED() and ALLEXCEPT() function to get different result.

ALL() function could be used to calculate the max value for entire table.

ALLSELECTED() function could be used to calculate the max value for filtered table.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/allselected-function-dax 

ALLEXCEPT() function could be used to calculated the max value for groups.

Hi @Syndicate_Admin ,

you can do it like this:

Max of selected values = 
    CALCULATE ( 
        MAX ( 'Table'[number] ) ,
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Table'[number] )
    )
