Issues with RANKX
Hi, Gombosf , you might want to try this measure
Rank = RANKX(ALLSELECTED(Table1[Name]), [Total_value])In fact, the mechanism of RANKX() under the hood is way much trickier than it appears. Here are some links for your further study if you're looking to master this most frequently-used function in DAX and to put it in your quiver.

Gombosf , Rank is context-sensitive. When you take the table the level of the table where it going to create rank from.
Try a measure like
Ranking_value = RANKX(ALLSelected(Table1[Name]), [Total_value])

Dear CNENFRNL and amitchandak !
Thank you for your help.
I think the main issue with the RANKX command was that I didn't use a separate table for the command. I feel this reason responsible for the wrong ranking order.
I hope that you can see the picture attached.
If this is the reason for the wrong ranking order, then I don't really understand the behaviour of the RANKX command (I have no clue why is it necessary to create a brand new table for having this ranking in a right way). Maybe this comes simply from the nature of the command. 🙂
Many-many thanks.
