Hi @malay1803 

Based on input data here is my approach to finding max salary and name for a given department 

you need to create two measure:

1. max salary = MAX(Sheet4[Salary])

MaxSalaryName =

CALCULATE(

    MAX('Sheet4'[Name]),

    FILTER(

        'Sheet4',

        'Sheet4'[Salary] = [max salary]

    )

)
this is my output

Hey, thanks for replying.
I tried this code, but the name which is being returned is the last name available for that dept.
So if the data goes like this:

Name	Dept	Salary
A	1	3500
B	1	4300
C	1	2200
D	2	1200
E	2	3240
F	3	6300
G	3	2319
H	3	1200

then the output should be 

Name	Dept	Salary
B	1	4300
E	2	3240
F	3	6300

But using the measure/query provided by you. It is returning

Name	Dept	Salary
C	1	4300
E	2	3240
H	3	8200

Hi Have corrected the measure try this one:

MaxSalaryName =

CALCULATE (

    MAX ( 'Sheet5'[Name] ),

    FILTER (

        'Sheet5',

        'Sheet5'[Salary] = MAX ( 'Sheet5'[Salary] )

    )

) and 

max salary = MAX(Sheet5[Salary])
here is my output hope this should work

Hi,

These measures work

Max salary = MAX(Data[Salary])

Highest earner = CALCULATE(MAX(Data[Name]),FILTER(Data,Data[Salary]=[Max salary]))

Hope this helps.
