Hello there @Anonymous ! To get your desire result, I would recommend the following:

1. Go to PQ, and select your "busnumber" and "SEATINGCAPACITY" columns and unpivot the other columns. You then get a "Attribute" and a "Value" column where your Attribute becomes the "Day" and the Value becomes the seatings (I suppose)

2. Close and Apply PQ

3. Add the following measure 

Max Value =
CALCULATE (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[busnumber] ),
    FILTER ( Table, [Value] = MAX ( Table[Value] ) )
)

4. Add the measure to your table visual and check the results.

 

Hope this answer solves your problem!
