find the largest value from two columns by category/row in Power BI desktop

Hi all, I am reasonably new to power bi and was hoping for some help creating a new column (with dax) to find the largest value per category/row from two columns.

Below is an example of my data now. The two columns I want to compare to find the largest value per Category/row is Sales forecast and sales quantity.

Item Code.sales forecast.sales quantity.
a2030
b105
c5060
d8070
e510

 

Below is what I would like my table to look like

item code.sales forecast.sales quantity.Required Stock Level.
a203030
b10510
c506060
d807080
e51010

 

If anyone can help that would be very much appreciated. 

 

Thank you
