    is this what you want?

    maxdate = 
VAR tbl=SUMMARIZE(sample_jobs,sample_jobs[job_date],"charge",sum(sample_jobs[total_charge]))

Hi ryan,

thanks for helping!

i was able to get what i needed from your code, though i used the Groupby function instead of summarize. The return maxx line was that i was looking for. 

again thanks heaps.

Record Daily date = 

#maxdate = 
#VAR tbl=SUMMARIZE(jobs,Jobs[job_date],"charge",sum(jobs[total_charge]))
#VAR _max= maxx(tbl,[charge])
#return maxx(FILTER(tbl,[charge]=_max),Jobs[job_date])

var temp1 = GROUPBY(Jobs, Jobs[job_date] , "Sum all Charge", SUMX(CURRENTGROUP(), Jobs[total_charge]))
var High_Daily = MAXX(temp1, [Sum all Charge])
var date_ = MAXX(FILTER(temp1, [Sum all Charge] = High_Daily), Jobs[job_date])

return date_
