Ranking based line chart

kompalli — Thu, 17 Nov 2022 17:37:11 GMT

Hi all,

Actually I am trying to create a line chart by using ranking.

Sample scenerio:

If I have company A with many products and other companies(like B,C, D considered as others).I have ranked based on sales for 'A' and others individually and took Top 1 rank of 'A' company and top 1 rank of others same way based on that I have considered top 5 ranks of 'A' and top 5 ranks of others individually. Now I want to combine all these to get a line chart that displays top 5 products of company 'A' based on ranks considered and top 5 products of others as a line chart. Any suggestion would be truly be appreciated and helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Hi kompalli ,

Please refer to my pbix file to see if it helps you.

Create a column.

Column = var _1= RANKX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[A and others]=EARLIER('Table'[A and others])),'Table'[Sales],,DESC,Dense) return IF(_1<=5,_1,BLANK())

Then filter the line chart: Column is not blank.

Hi Anonymous Thanks for the quick response. It worked but even product column should be part of ranking. So the ranking is done based on company,product column as well as sales. These three conditions into one dax to create calculated ranking column. Could please suggest an alternative where a sales measure can be added to the calculated ranking column.

Hi Anonymous ,

Thanks for your response. Below are the measures for your reference that I have used to rank company "A" and "others" based on product, company and sales measures. It was working fine but when used as measure, the same logic I couldn't apply it to a calculated column.

Rank by A Sales = if (SELECTEDVALUE (Table name [Company]) ="A”, RANKX (

SUMMARIZE (ALL (Table name), Table name [Product], Table name [Company]), [Sales measure], CALCULATE ([Sales measure], Table name [company] = "A"), DESC, Dense))

Rank by others Sales = if (SELECTEDVALUE (Table name [Company]) ="others”, RANKX (SUMMARIZE (ALL (Table name), Table name [Product], Table name [company), [Sales measure], CALCULATE ([Sales measure], Table name [company] = "others"), DESC, Dense))

These are the measures used to rank based on company “A” and “others” but based on these conditions a calculated column is required. I tried doing it but I couldn't get the desired ranking.

Below image is that shows the expected output in detail.
There might be similar products repeating for a company over a period based on sales.

Below is the sample data for your reference.

Company	Product	Date	Sales	A and others
A	A01	01-Feb-20	50	A
A	A02	01-Feb-20	36	A
A	A03	01-Feb-20	43	A
A	A04	01-Feb-20	31	A
B	B01	01-Feb-20	16	others

Hi kompalli ,

I have created a simple smaple, please refer to it to see if it helps you.

ColumnA = VAR _1= RANKX(FILTER('Table','Table'[company]="A"&&'Table'[DATE]=EARLIER('Table'[DATE])),'Table'[sales],,DESC,Dense) RETURN IF(_1<=5&&'Table'[company]="A",_1,BLANK())

ColumnNOA = VAR _1= RANKX(FILTER('Table','Table'[company]<>"A"&&'Table'[DATE]=EARLIER('Table'[DATE])),'Table'[sales],,DESC,Dense) RETURN IF(_1<=5&&'Table'[company]<>"A",_1,BLANK())

If it still does not help you, please peovide more details to explain: Company A, date 2020/2/1, the A02 's rankx is 2. There are 50(A01) ,43( A03) ,48(A06) ,40(A07) bigger than it.

It seems other company rankx by date. Why 42(B04) is 1?
