Perhaps:

 

count_occurence measure =
  VAR __Max = [Max_Tran_Count]
  VAr __Table =
    SUMMARIZE(
      'Table',
      [Department],
      [Hour],
      [week],
      "__TransactionCount",SUM([TransactionCount])
    )
RETURN
  COUNTROWS(FILTER(__Table,[__TransactionCount] = __Max))

Hi @Greg_Deckler

Yes..sort of
As I have mentioned in above post..the report format that is needed..
Need to dispalay the hour also which has max transaction count

Oh, just use LOOKUPVALUE or MAXX(FILTER(...)...) for that. https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Lookup-Min-Max/td-p/985814

Hi @Greg_Deckler

I tried..but not able to get expected result Could you please help here in providing the formula

See attached PBIX:

 

count_occurence = 
    VAR __Max = MAXX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[TransactionCount])
RETURN
    COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table',[TransactionCount] = __Max))

hour measure = 
    VAR __Max = MAXX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[TransactionCount])
RETURN
    MINX(FILTER('Table',[TransactionCount] = __Max),[Hour])
