Help with local maximums

Hi all,

 

I would need some help with Power Query.

 

The point is that I have an Excel file with the data from 2 machines. I have joined both tables in a new one to have the data of both machines with different or simmilar NumOP (Operation number).

 

As you´ll see in the PBI attached, the column structure is: TIME, COMPA (component A), COMPB (component B), NumOP, IDmachine.

 

I would like to take the maximum values of COMPA and COMPB (same line) according to the Operation number (NumOP).

 

The main problem is that a machine could shutdown and restart  in 0 position (see the example), so the program should be able to give us an output like this:

DBB99_1-1624614331219.png

 

DBB99_0-1624614016921.png

 

So the final result would be:

DBB99_2-1624614379268.png

 

Could you please help me on this topic??

 

Thank you so much for your support.

 

In this link you will find the Excel file and the PBI file
