Getting Rank of Text Column which has duplicate records

[ashisha11]

I am not sure how to mention this. I have a simple table as below. I am trying to get the rank basis on 'Name' Column which has duplicate record. Can any one help whether this can be achieved in power bi? Thanks in Advance.

Name	Desired Output (Rank)
A	1
A	2
A	3
A	4
B	1
B	2
B	3
C	1
C	2
C	3
C	4
C	5
C	6

Hi @ashisha11 

Once you've added your index column, you can use the DAX expression below to create your rank column:

Rank = 
VAR RowName = Table1[Name]
VAR Result = 
RANKX(
    FILTER(
        ALL( Table1 ),
        Table1[Name] = RowName
    ),
    Table1[Index],
    ,ASC
)
RETURN Result

Best regards,
Martyn

I have a similar problem with ranking. What I need is to have all channel_grouping_1 have the same rank. Offline Only 1 across all lines, Direct 2 across all lines etc. Can anyone help? 

Many thanks

Hi @ashisha11 

the easiest way is to add a Custom Index Column in Power Query Editor mode

then try to create a calculated DAX column like

RANK = 
var _RowsBefore = COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Name]<EARLIER('Table'[Name])))
RETURN
rankx(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Name]=EARLIER('Table'[Name])), 'Table'[Index],,ASC) + _RowsBefore

Create one index column and then create one more column as below.

Rank = CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Col]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Col]=EARLIER('Table'[Col]) && 'Table'[Index]<=EARLIER('Table'[Index])))
