Help With RANKX

I'm very new to PowerBi and am looking for some help with the RANX function. I have a table, 'Result Grades', that needs to grouped as per the table below i.e 'RecNum', 'AcYr', 'Assessment', 'A8 Order' and then ranked by the 'Result Pts' (ascending). I have tried many different ways and the closest I've come to solving the problem is with the formula :-

RankA8 =

RANKX(
FILTER(ALL(
'Result Grades'),
'Result Grades'[RecNum] = EARLIER('Result Grades'[RecNum])&&[A8Order]="1"
),
'Result Grades'[RecNum]&[AcYr]&[Assessment]&[A8Order]&[ResultPts]&[Code]
,,desc
)

The only problem with this formula is it just ranks all the grades for each 'RecNum from 1 to the highest value. Is there any way to achieve the ranking as per the column 'Rank Wanted' as below. 

RecNum

AcYr

Assessment

A8Order

Code
