MAX Function (DAX)
Returns the largest numeric value in a column, or between two scalar expressions.
MAX(<column>)
MAX(<expression1>, <expression2>)
Parameters
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| column | The column in which you want to find the largest numeric value. |
| expression | Any DAX expression which returns a single numeric value. |
A decimal number.
When evaluating a single column that contains numeric values, if the column contains no numbers, MAX returns a blank. If you want to evaluate values that are not numbers, use the MAXA function.
When comparing two expressions, blank is treated as 0 when comparing. That is, Max(1, Blank() ) returns 1, and Max( -1, Blank() ) returns 0. If both arguments are blank, MAX returns a blank. If either expression returns a value which is not allowed, MAX returns an error.
The following example returns the largest value found in the ExtendedAmount column of the InternetSales table.
=MAX(InternetSales[ExtendedAmount])
The following example returns the largest value between the result of two expressions.
=Max([TotalSales], [TotalPurchases])
