Return the Date or Day in corresponding column using a measure that finds the max value in a column

Hello, we are trying to return the Date or the Day (or both) to be used in a Card. We have found the Max Status Value but can't get the calculation to return the corresponding Date or, ideally, the Day (Tuesday).

 

Here is the measure that returns the maximum value in the table within the [StatusAdj1] measure column.

 

Test =

VAR MaxUtil = MAXX(ALLSELECTED(FCT_SpaceOccupancyStatusHourQtrPots[Date]),[StatusAdj1])

 

// VAR Check = [StatusAdj1] = MaxUtil

Return MaxUtil

 

Ideally, we would like to return a card with the date, in this case it would be 10 May 2022 and another Card with the Day for that Date = Tuesday.

You can create a couple of measures like

Date of Max =
SELECTCOLUMNS (
    TOPN (
        1,
        ALLSELECTED ( FCT_SpaceOccupancyStatusHourQtrPots[Date] ),
        [StatusAdj1], DESC,
        FCT_SpaceOccupancyStatusHourQtrPots[Date], ASC
    ),
    "@val", FCT_SpaceOccupancyStatusHourQtrPots[Date]
)

Day of Max = FORMAT( [Date of Max], "dddd")

In the event of 2 dates having the same max value this will return the earliest. If you want the latest instead just change ASC to DESC
