Hi @Sea_and_Anne,

Firstly, create a new column named yearmonth using the following formula.

yearmonth = FORMAT(Table[Date],"yyyy/mm")


Secondly, create a new column named Maxpermonth using the following formula.

Maxpermonth = CALCULATE(MAX(Table[NumberAlarms]),FILTER(Table,Table[yearmonth]=EARLIER(Table[yearmonth])))

You will get your desired result as shown in the following screenshot. For more details, please review the example in the attached PBIX file.
