RANKX works until I add other columns to the table visual

ElBucko — Fri, 26 Jan 2024 12:42:42 GMT

Hi,

New here. I have a pbx file downloaded from sqlbi for rankx.

This contains a sales table and a product table with the following DAX

Sales Amount = SUMX ( Sales, Sales[Quantity] * Sales[Net Price] )

Ranking on Brand =

IF (

ISINSCOPE ('Product'[Brand] ),

RANKX ( ALLSELECTED ('Product'[Brand] ), [Sales Amount] )

)

Works perfectly in this scenario:

However, as soon as I add any field from the product table it ranks the brand within the category rather than only ranking the brands as above screenshot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi ElBucko ,

Here is my test data:

Create a measure

Rank = VAR _T = ADDCOLUMNS('Table',"Group",RANKX(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Brand],'Table'[Brand],DESC,Dense)) RETURN SUMX(_T,[Group])

Final output

Best regards
