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 |
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
