Sum/Filter Help

[KUNGFUPANDA559]

I'm stumped!   

I have the following measure:

SAS_Testing:=

SAS-TESTING = 
CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[AMOUNT]),ALL('Name'[NAME]),Table1[Dept]="SAS",
Table1[sales_id]=0,table1[product_id]="GENOH")

Which gives me the exact results i want.  I try using the following (which should provide the maximum value in column product_id for name selected):

SAS-Max:=
calculate(max(product_id),allselected('name'[name]))

SAS-TESTING = 
CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[AMOUNT]),ALL('Name'[NAME]),Table1[Dept]="SAS",
Table1[sales_id]=0,table1[product_id]=[sas-max])

When I use this i'm greeted with the friendly "a function 'Calculate' has been used in a true/false blah blah blah"  HELP!!!

Hello,

Is your product id numeric?

In your first sample you write [product_id]="GENOH".

I'm wondering that calculate can handle this equations as filter. I expected, you have to wrap it in a FILTER formula. But obviously that's not an issue.

The column is alphanumeric (but typically contains all text).  I'm wondering if max is the wrong operator to be using to handle strings

Try this

SAS-TESTING =
VAR mymeasure = [sas-max]
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table1[AMOUNT] ),
        ALL ( 'Name'[NAME] ),
        Table1[Dept] = "SAS",
        Table1[sales_id] = 0,
        table1[product_id] = mymeasure
    )
