Need name of category with the most values

[Anonymous]

I have a table of clients and their genders, and I need to identify the gender with the most values, so from a table like this: 

Client 1 - Male

Client 2 - Male

Client 3 - Female

Client 4 - Male

Client 5 - Male

Client 6 - Male

I need to produce the word "Male" as a measure, because there are 5 males and only 1 female. I can't use visual filters to achieve this. 

Using RANK, I got Male = 1 and Female = 2, but I'm not sure how to take that output and produce the word "Male". 

What is wrong with my approach? Thank you!

Hi,

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

expected result measure: =
VAR _gendertablewithcounting =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        DISTINCT ( Data[Gender] ),
        "@count", CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Data ) )
    )
VAR _groupbymaxcounting =
    GROUPBY (
        _gendertablewithcounting,
        Data[Gender],
        "@maxcount", MAXX ( CURRENTGROUP (), [@count] )
    )
RETURN
    MAXX ( _groupbymaxcounting, Data[Gender] )

Hi @Anonymous 

Please try

Max Gender =
MAXX (
    TOPN (
        1,
        SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[Gender], "@Count", COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ) ),
        [@Count]
    ),
    'Table'[Gender]
)

This worked great - I was able to even add a filter on to COUNTROWS to remove blanks from consideration. Thanks so much! 

Didn't try the other option, that might work as well.
