Hi Fabric Community,
I need help with following:
Have a Fact Table with following measures: avg_sales, qty_by_customer.
Have 3 different Dimension Tables: Customer, Product, Country
Need to create a rank where I have following conditions:
1. same customer, same country, different product should rank by AVG_SALES (1st criteria) and 2nd criteria QTY_BY_CUSTOMER
2. ignore all null values and zero values in measure qty_by_customer and avg_sales.
DIM Table Customer
| CustomerID | Customer Name |
| 1 | Alex |
| 2 | Samantha |
DIM Table Country
| ISO Code | Country |
| US | United States |
| IT | Italy |
| ES | Spain |
| FR | France |
DIM Table Product
| ProductID | Product |
| A | MA-1 |
| B | MA-2 |
| C | BD-1 |
Output:
| CustomerID | ISO Code | Product | [qty_by_customer] | [avg_sales] | RANK (new measure) |
1 | US | B | 30 | 14€ | 1 |
| 1 | US | A | 100 | 15€ | 2 |
| 1 | IT | C | 50 | 15€ | 1 |
| 1 | IT | A | 30 | 30€ | 2 |
| 1 | ES | C | 60 | 14€ | 1 |
| 1 | ES | A | 30 | 16€ | 2 |
| 1 | ES | B | 35 | 16€ | 3 |
Can you help me?
@DallasBaba last time you helped me, but problem now is that I want a measure.
Thank you in advance.
Hi @DallasBaba ,
It's not working.
When I replace VAR for my Fact Table, it only shows Measures. It does not show Columns.
Let me tell you that I have a DirectQuery Connection. This might be an important issue.
Can you help me?
Thank you in advance!
@yellow43 Can you share a .pbix file with sample dataset for solution debugging.
HI @yellow43,
AFAIK, direct query should limit on the calculate field and dax functions usages.
Perhaps you can consider to duplicate a table and switch it to import mode, then these part should be worked with the dax expressions that @DallasBaba shared. (you report will use composite model to work with both import and direct query connections)

@yellow43 Can you create a calculated column in the Fact Table that computes the ranking based on the specified criteria.
_Ranking =
VAR CustomerID = 'Fact Table'[CustomerID]
VAR CountryTable = 'Fact Table'[ISO Code]
VAR ProductTable = 'Fact Table'[Product]
VAR AvgSales = 'Fact Table'[avg_sales]
VAR QtyByCustomer = 'Fact Table'[qty_by_customer]
RETURN
IF(
NOT(ISBLANK(AvgSales)) && NOT(ISBLANK(QtyByCustomer)) && AvgSales > 0 && QtyByCustomer > 0,
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
'Fact Table',
'Fact Table'[CustomerID] = CustomerID &&
'Fact Table'[ISO Code] = CountryTable &&
'Fact Table'[Product] <> ProductTable &&
NOT(ISBLANK('Fact Table'[avg_sales])) && 'Fact Table'[avg_sales] > 0 &&
NOT(ISBLANK('Fact Table'[qty_by_customer])) && 'Fact Table'[qty_by_customer] > 0 &&
'Fact Table'[qty_by_customer] >= QtyByCustomer
)
) + 1, // Adding +1 to ensure the ranking does not return BLANK as 0
BLANK()
)
I hope this meet your need. See Attach pbix file for details.
