I have the report(left table) in the Power bi as same as in the right table(Excel). How can I add an index to the left table as in the right table without adding a column?
Hi @Anonymous ,
Create a measure
Measure =
RANKX (
ALL ( 'Table'[Region] ),
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Export Value] )
),
,
DESC
)
