Solved

displaying only the highest values

I have data where many entries are very similar but vary between one text field and a numerical field. Is there a way to only show the higest numerical field from each category?

 

data:

main category is the flower type

roseflowerbulb3
rose flowerleaf5
tulipflowerbulb6
tulipflowerstem4
irisflowerbulb2
irisflowerleaf3
iris flowerstem1

 

expected output:

rose flowerleaf5
tulipflowerbulb6
irisflowerleaf3

    Hi Anonymous ,

    I created a sample pbix file(see attachment) for you, please check whether that is what you want. You can create a measure as below and apply a visual-level filter on the visual with the condition(Flag is 1 ) :

    Flag = 
VAR _tabs =
    SUMMARIZE (
        'Table',
        'Table'[flower type],
        "@maxqty",
            CALCULATE (
                MAX ( 'Table'[qty] ),
                ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[category], 'Table'[flower type] )
            )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( SUM ( 'Table'[qty] ) = MAXX ( _tabs, [@maxqty] ), 1, 0 )

    If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide more sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

    So in my head the solution would be structured like if the flower (rose) is the same then display the entry with the higest numeric value (5). But I don't know how to do that.
