Vanilla SUM and MAX calculations are pretty straightforward in Power BI. But every once in a while you may come across slightly twisted calculation such as find the MAX value and then SUM them. In this post, I will discuss how to find the SUM of MAX values in Power BI. Sum of Max Values in Power BI – Video Consider the following Data I have Calendar, Customers and Products tables linked to the Sales table via one to many relationship. I also have a pivot table displaying the sales by year and by month. Now, I want to find the sales of MAX selling product each month inside the pivot table. Calculating MAX Sales by Product for each Month. This can be done by creating a new measure as follows: Winning Prod Sales = MAXX ( Products, [Total Sales] ) Dragging this measure to the pivot table, I’ll be able to see the following result. The year total shows the Sales of MAX Selling product for the entire year, however, I want to the sum of all the MAX Selling Products for each Month at the total level. Calculating SUM of MAX Values Here is the broad logic to solve this. I need to capture monthly max values at the total level and then sum them. To solve this I will create a new measure as follows: SUMof MAX Sales = SUMX ( ADDCOLUMNS ( SUMMARIZE ( — Summary table to get monthly level granularity Sales, ‘Calendar'[Year], ‘Calendar'[Month] ), “MAXSales”, MAXX ( — for each month calculating MAX Selling Product Products, [Total Sales] ) ), [MAXSales] ) Drag this measure to the pivot table. Now, the pivot table will display the SUM of MAX Values at the total level.
