From DAX studio to Power BI DAX code

My code works fine in Dax Studio but when I move it to Power BI I have some trouble with it. Finally, I was able to change it and make it work but now having trouble with ORDER BY. I want to order the X table by ranking. Can someone help with this please. Also why on some pages it is  ORDERBY but somewhere it is ORDER BY.

https://dax.guide/st/order-by/

 

MY TABLE = 


VAR T = 
        SUMMARIZECOLUMNS (
            'TABLEA'[COLUMN1],
            "REASON", COUNT ( 'TABLEA[COUNT] )
        )

VAR X = ADDCOLUMNS ( 
                   T, "Ranking", 
                   RANKX ( 
                         T, [REASON] 
                   )  
                
        ) 

        RETURN X

Hi, @stribor45 

Use below

 

MY TABLE = 

 

VAR T = 

        SUMMARIZECOLUMNS (

            'TABLEA'[COLUMN1],

            "REASON", COUNT ( 'TABLEA[COUNT] )

        )

 

VAR X = ADDCOLUMNS ( 

                   T, "Ranking", 

                   RANKX ( 

                         T, [REASON] ,,asc

                   )  

                

        ) 

 

        RETURN X 

 

Use Asc or desc as your requirements 

 

And this  orderby use in window function like (offset, rank,window)

And this order by use outside of dax query to indicate order of any column or expression.

 

 

 

The dax code you shared but doesnt order based on REASON or Ranking. I would like this to be ordered by ranking if possible

hi, @stribor45 

use RANK instead of RANKX 

Yes i tried that but didnt work for me either. 

 

VAR X = ADDCOLUMNS(T, "Ranking",RANK (DENSE, T, ORDERBY ([REASON], ASC)))
