how to use MAX with a measure and not a column

Hi all

 

I need to use max with a measure I have created that gives me basically the demand.

 

With the max I want to obtain the maximum demand for any given month. I know measures return only one value, and that's causing the problem with the MAX. 


How can I get it ok?

 

This is my measure:

Which allows me to see the blue bars below when I use the time (month) dimension:

I would like to obtain with the max the value of 12.M (december)

How can I get it right?

 

Thanks.
