MAX function returns the largest value in a column.

In your scenerio, it would return the maxium value of exchange rate from rate table.

I read your previous Post. Looks like you don't need to use aggregated function MAX with EXCHANGE RATE.  Simply USE below:

Measure = SUM('TABLE7'[FOREIGN AMT])*'RATE'[EXCHANGE RATE])

Do you have to make it as a Measure Only? I think it should be created as a calculated Column rather than Measure.
