Maximum Mileage

[Anonymous]

Hi - hope you can help

I have two tables.

A fact table - Table 1

A dim table - Table 2

They are joined together using the Post Code Column.

I'm wanting to create a measure that will display as a new column in a table visual of the fact table. I want it to look like the below:

This column (measure) shows the maximum (highest) mileage for any given Booking Number based on the Post Codes associated with that booking. As an example booking number 689053 has three post codes associated with it - the one with the highest miles is SE at 70 miles - so in the maximum miles column it says 70 for all of the 689053 booking numbers.

Please could you help me with a measure as I'm stumped.

I hope this makes sense.

Kind regards

Chris

Chris,

do following:

1. create new calculated column "Maximum Miles" in table1

2. paste following formula and you will get desired results

In your case it make sense to create a calculated column (not a measure) because you need to update your column upon addition of new records.

=
VAR CurrentBooking = Table1[Booking Number]
RETURN
MAXX(
	FILTER(Table1,Table1[Booking Number]=CurrentBooking),
	RELATED(Table2[Miles])
	)

Hi Zubair_Muhammad & bogomda

Thank you both for your quick and detailed responses.

@Zubair_Muhammad   - Thanks for your efforts but unfortunately I couldn’t get them to give the desired result.

@bogomda  - This works really well.

BUT!! – apologies – when I simplified the test data I over simplified and missed out a key element.

Blow is a screen shot from the pbix file.  I think you’ll instantly see my problem. 

There is a column called ‘Drop Number’ – each Booking Number and Postcode can have multiple lines in the Fact table as there are potentially multiple drop numbers.

Although in this instance I’m not interested in this column it is causing an issue when it feeds through into the ‘desired result’ as it’s summing up the ‘MaxMiles’ row by row.

Really sorry I missed this out.  Hopefully it’s just a tweak of the existing formula?

Thanks again both – much appreciated.

Visual by defaul sums numerical values. You need to left click on Maximum Miles value under Values section and choose option "Don't Summarize" to get desired result

see a link to pbix file with example. it shows two solutions:

1) calculated column (witn no summarized values option chosen)

2) a measure solution (just drop it to matrix and it should work)

Try this mEasure

Measure =
CALCULATE (
    MAX ( Dim[Miles] ),
    CROSSFILTER ( Dim[Post Code], 'Fact'[Post Code], BOTH ),
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'Fact'[Post Code] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Fact', 'Fact'[Booking Number] )
    )
)

Hi Zubair

Many thanks for your speedy response.  I have tried the measure and have got the below result:

However this is not quite what I was after.  Please could you have another look?

Thank you

HI @Anonymous 

Please try this MEASURE

Could you share your file

Measure = VAR myvalues= CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'Fact'[Post Code] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Fact', 'Fact'[Booking Number] )
    )
RETURN
CALCULATE (
    MAX ( Dim[Miles] ),
    Filter(all(Dim),Dim[Post Code] in myvalues))

or this one

Measure=CALCULATE (
    MAX ( Dim[Miles] ),
TREATAS(CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'Fact'[Post Code] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Fact', 'Fact'[Booking Number] )
    ),Dim[Post Code]))
