Not sure I understood what exactly do you mean in first question, how do you create measures? In general it could be as many measures as you wish

To check earliest date with max amount for the company we may use something like

Max Amt:=
VAR biggestAmount =
    MAX ( Table1[Amt] )
VAR earliestDate =
    MIN ( Table1[Date] )
VAR maxAmt =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Table1[Amt] ),
        ALL ( Table1[Date] )
    )
VAR minDate =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( Table1[Date] ),
        ALL ( Table1[Date] ),
        Table1[Amt] = maxAmt
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        biggestAmount = maxAmt
            && minDate = earliestDate,
        biggestAmount,
        BLANK ()
    )

If you are not on Mac, creating PivotTable add data to data model

and add DAX measure

Latest Amt=
VAR maxAmt=MAX(Table1[Amt])
VAR maxAmtCo=CALCULATE(MAX(Table1[Amt]), ALL(Table1[Date]))
RETURN
  IF(maxAmt=maxAmtCo, maxAmt, BLANK() )

and use it in values

wow both are quite ingenious.
Sergei: if I already have a DAX measure added, it doesnt look as though I can add another one more without affecting the current DAX? I tested and it overwrites the other DAX I already had.

Hans: that works nicely. thanks.

Sergei: also if I have 2 MAX VALUES that are duplicate then it lists both of them however I would only want to list the initial one. FYYI: Hans solution accounts for duplicates and uses the first case.

    nice. Works perfectly. I now see how I can add another DAX measure.
    
    I wanted to keep this in the pivot, which is what your solution does i/o a Index and match, which is quite crafty as well.
