Visual with Changing data each month

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   1Bob100February   1Sally200March   1Joan187
January   2Sally75February   2Sam156March   2Travis178
January   3John50February   3Bob134March   3Sally154
January   4Joan48February   4Joan123March   4Sam134
January   5Travis30February   5John100March   5Bob125
January   6Sam10February   6Travis56March   6John110



Any input would be appreciated!

You cannot guarantee that the number of names is the same across months. A  table visual is more appropriate.

 

No need to rank, you can sort by month ascending and then by sum descending,

Or you can create a calculated column for the rank and then use a matrix visual
