Measure for Sorting which differs each month

KW123 — Thu, 05 Sep 2024 21:27:15 GMT

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	1	Bob	100	February	1	Sally	200	March	1	Joan	187
January	2	Sally	75	February	2	Sam	156	March	2	Travis	178
January	3	John	50	February	3	Bob	134	March	3	Sally	154
January	4	Joan	48	February	4	Joan	123	March	4	Sam	134
January	5	Travis	30	February	5	John	100	March	5	Bob	125
January	6	Sam	10	February	6	Travis	56	March	6	John	110

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] ) )
