RANK indexing with condition

JK-1 — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 19:21:23 GMT

Hi, have been looking at indexing again, and whether some sequencing conditions would be achievable.

For (see snip below):
RAND = RAND()
RANK = RANKX(ALL(Table),Table[RAND])
RANK INC = IF(Table[isCurrent]="No",RANKX(ALL(Table),Table[RAND]))

Is it possible to in the RANK INC not have it skip the excluded numbers and keep the sequence running without number gaps.
Thought about && Table[isCurrent]="No" in RANK but can't get it right.

Or is RANKX not going to be the best option to fulfil?

Separately, I was then working on 3 digits to make up the number in RANK INC to be a full 3 digit sequence with leading zeroes.
Still learning switch but would switch enable length decision and prefix 00 (for 1), 0 (for 2).

Thanks,

Hi JK-1,

Please try the following DAX calculated column and let me know if this achieves your desired result. This also takes into account your 3 digit formatting:

RANK INC = IF( Table[isCurrent] = "No", FORMAT( RANKX( FILTER(ALL(Table), Table[isCurrent] = "No"), Table[RAND], , ASC, DENSE ), "000" ) )

If this helped, please mark it as the solution so others can benefit too. And if you found it useful, kudos are always appreciated.

Thanks,

Samson

Hi JK ,

Could you please try below DAX expresion:
RANK_INC_Formatted =
VAR RankValue =
RANKX(
FILTER(ALL(Table), Table[isCurrent] = "No"),
Table[RAND],
,
ASC,
DENSE
)
RETURN
IF(
Table[isCurrent] = "No",
FORMAT(RankValue, "000")
)

FILTER(ALL(Table), Table[isCurrent] = "No") ==> ensures only those rows are considered.
DENSE ranking avoids gaps ==> 1,2 ,3 ...
FORMAT function with "000" to add the number with leading zeros.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Thankyou, SamsonTruong and maruthisp, for your response.

Hi JK-1,

We appreciate your inquiry posted on the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

It is possible to achieve gapless ranking for only the rows with "No" using the RANKX function, and to format these rankings as three-digit strings using the FORMAT function.

Kindly find attached a screenshot and the PBIX file, which may assist in resolving the issue:

That is excellent, thank you. Especially handy capturing the other part within it.
