Thanks John what if i just need to get the subject in which student scored the max marks via measure

[johnt75]

You can do this with a couple of measures

Top Subject = CONCATENATEX( TOPN( 1, 'Table',  'Table'[Marks]), 'Table'[Subject], ", ")

Top Marks = MAX('Table'[Marks])

In case of ties this will return a comma separated list of subjects which shared the same top marks.

Hi @archit_bansal 

You can try this,

create a measure

maxmarks = CALCULATE( MAX('Table'[Marks]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[ID]))

then create the table below,

output table = FILTER('Table','Table'[Marks]=[maxmarks])

result
