Maximun value of several columns

Hello Community.

 

I would like to learn how to create a new column with the maximum value of several columns. is there any formula? because IF I use variables and IF linked, if I have to compare too many columns is a hell. 

Thank you in advance

 

Col ACol BCol CCol D Result_max
0,910,080,830,21 0,91
0,370,310,310,74 0,74
0,400,010,030,38 0,40
0,310,880,200,62 0,88

I would do it in the query too, but, if you can't, here is how to do it in a DAX column.

 

MaxCol = MAXX({Table[ColA], Table[ColB], Table[ColC], Table[ColD]}, [Value])

You can do this through Power Query.

 

Go to Power Query

Select the relevant columns

From Menu on top Go to Add Column --> Click Statistics Button --> Select Max

 

The function used is List.Max

thank you but these columns are calculated and do not show in power query
