Measure for Sorting which differs each month

Hi!

I need to build a table?? matrix?? that involves displaying each month in a singular visual. 

Each month there is a new ranking of names depending on how much $ sold.  I can't seem to figure out how to display each Month with changing names. I have tried a matrix, the problem is that the rows need to be in the values field as each month the rank will change.  (There are about 50 or so names each month, this is a small scale example)

Below is an example: 

 Month   Placing   Name   $  Sold   Month   Placing   Name   $  Sold   Month   Placing   Name    $ Solc  
January   1Bob100February   1Sally200March   1Joan187
January   2Sally75February   2Sam156March   2Travis178
January   3John50February   3Bob134March   3Sally154
January   4Joan48February   4Joan123March   4Sam134
January   5Travis30February   5John100March   5Bob125
January   6Sam10February   6Travis56March   6John110


Is there some sort of DAX that would be able to work with this? 

Any input would be appreciated!

  • Hi KW123 

    Create the following calculated table 

    Placing = GENERATESERIES ( 1, 100, 1 )

     

    Add a matrix visual. Place 'Table'[Month] in the columns and Placing[Value] in the rows. Don't panic when you see the error 😊

    create the flowing measures and place them in the values of the matrix. 

    Name Measure =
    VAR T1 =
    SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[Name], "@Sold", [$Sold] )
    VAR NameCount =
    COUNTROWS ( T1 )
    VAR CurrentPlacing =
    MAX ( Placing[Value] )
    VAR Result =
    IF (
    CurrentPlacing <= NameCount,
    MAXX (
    TOPN (
    1,
    TOPN ( CurrentPlacing, T1, [@Sold], DESC, 'Table'[Name], ASC ),
    [@Sold], ASC,
    'Table'[Name], DESC
    ),
    'Table'[Name]
    )
    )
    RETURN
    Result

    $Sold New Measure =
    VAR T1 =
    SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[Name], "@Sold", [$Sold] )
    VAR NameCount =
    COUNTROWS ( T1 )
    VAR CurrentPlacing =
    MAX ( Placing[Value] )
    VAR Result =
    IF (
    CurrentPlacing <= NameCount,
    MAXX (
    TOPN (
    1,
    TOPN ( CurrentPlacing, T1, [@Sold], DESC, 'Table'[Name], ASC ),
    [@Sold], ASC,
    'Table'[Name], DESC
    ),
    [@Sold]
    )
    )
    RETURN
    Result

    Month Measure =
    IF ( NOT ISBLANK ( [Name Measure] ), MAX ( 'Table'[Month] ) )

    You may also want to add the Placing

    Placing Measure =
    IF ( NOT ISBLANK ( [Name Measure] ), MAX ( Placing[Value] ) )

    Hi All,
    Firstly  tamerj1 thank you for your solution!
    And KW123 ,as I understand it, is that how your dataset is structured, and then you want to ask for the sales of the people for each month to be sorted is that right? 

    Below is the dataset I created modelled after your example data data.

    Then we sort by each month and each month's sales.

    RankPerMonth = 
     RANKX(
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            'Table'[Month  ]=MAX('Table'[Month  ])),
            CALCULATE(
                SUM('Table'[ $  Sold  ])),,DESC)

    I hope my answer can solve your problem, if you still have more recent asynchronous needs, you can contact me at any time, I will be the first time to reply after receiving the message!

    Hope it helps!

    Hi Anonymous 
    Thank you for your solution. 
    I'm not in a place to answer on behalf of the requester KW123. However, I think the requirements are a little bit different than what you have kindly proposed. Attached sample file explains my solution which seems to fully address the requirements.

     

    $Sold New Measure = 
    VAR T1 =
        SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[Name], "@Sold", [$Sold] )
    VAR NameCount =
        COUNTROWS ( T1 )
    VAR CurrentPlacing =
        MAX ( Placing[Value] )
    VAR Result =
        IF (
            CurrentPlacing <= NameCount,
            MAXX (
                TOPN (
                    1,
                    TOPN ( CurrentPlacing, T1, [@Sold], DESC, 'Table'[Name], ASC ),
                    [@Sold], ASC,
                    'Table'[Name], DESC
                ),
                [@Sold]
            )
        )
    RETURN
        Result
    Name Measure = 
    VAR T1 =
        SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[Name], "@Sold", [$Sold] )
    VAR NameCount =
        COUNTROWS ( T1 )
    VAR CurrentPlacing =
        MAX ( Placing[Value] )
    VAR Result =
        IF (
            CurrentPlacing <= NameCount,
            MAXX (
                TOPN (
                    1,
                    TOPN ( CurrentPlacing, T1, [@Sold], DESC, 'Table'[Name], ASC ),
                    [@Sold], ASC,
                    'Table'[Name], DESC
                ),
            'Table'[Name]
            )
        )
    RETURN
        Result
    Month Measure = 
    IF ( NOT ISBLANK ( [Name Measure] ), MAX ( 'Table'[Month] ) )
    Placing Measure = 
    IF ( NOT ISBLANK ( [Name Measure] ), MAX ( Placing[Value] ) )
