Return Second Highest Value in Matrix

Hello, 

 

I have calculated the maximum value of each row for a Power BI matrix with the below DAX; my question is: How do I modify it to calculate the 2nd highest value in each row, rather than the maximum?

 

MaxBidPrice NetAfterHaul per MBF =
VAR MaxBidPriceMBF =
CALCULATETABLE(
    ADDCOLUMNS(
        SUMMARIZE(BidPriceFlat3,DestinationPQ6[DestID])
        ,
        "Amount",[Net After Haul per MBF]),
        ALLSELECTED(DestinationPQ6[DestID]))

        VAR MaxValue = MAXX(MaxBidPriceMBF,[Amount])
        VAR CurrentValue=[Net After Haul per MBF]
        VAR Result = Switch(True(),
            CurrentValue = MaxValue,MaxValue)
        RETURN
        Result
 
Thank you!

    Use RANKX, TOPN(1(TOPN(2)), or any of the window functions.  Lots of choices.

    Thanks for the reply from lbendlin , please allow me to provide another insight:

     

    Hi arcanri ,

     

    You can try below formula to create measure:

    Second_ = 
VAR RankedValues =
    ADDCOLUMNS(
        BidPriceFlat3,
        "Rank", RANKX(
            FILTER(BidPriceFlat3, BidPriceFlat3[DestinationID] = EARLIER(BidPriceFlat3[DestinationID])),
            BidPriceFlat3[NetAfterHaulPerMBF],
            ,
            DESC,
            DENSE
        )
    )
VAR SecondHighestValue =
    CALCULATE(
        MAXX(
            FILTER(RankedValues, [Rank] = 2),
            [NetAfterHaulPerMBF]
        ),
        ALLEXCEPT(BidPriceFlat3, BidPriceFlat3[DestinationID])
    )
RETURN
    SecondHighestValue

      Thank you.  I think we're closer to a solution. The above solution returned a ranked list of values; however, it did not return a value of the 2nd highest price.  I have exported out the report into an excel file and modified to mask corporate data.  The yellow highlighted cells are what I am trying to return with the formula.  Thank you again for your help. 

       

      Thank you!
