Hi everyone,
I have a classical customers and sales table.
I would like to know in my sales tables (in a calculated column) for each customers which order is the first, which order is the second, the third ect...
This means I want to rank my orders/customers from the oldest to the most recent.
order_id | customer_id | order_rank |
3221 | 100 | 1 |
3221 | 100 | 1 |
4552 | 100 | 2 |
4478 | 100 | 3 |
1552 | 251 | 1 |
1552 | 251 | 1 |
6221 | 251 | 2 |
7551 | 350 | 1 |
7551 | 350 | 1 |
8550 | 350 | 2 |
8551 | 350 | 3 |
9120 | 350 | 4 |
9120 | 350 | 4 |
It's a little bit hard for me to explain in english what i need but i hope its okay this way.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Regards
Solved! Go to Solution.
order-rank CC =
VAR currentcustomer = 'Table'[customer_id]
RETURN
RANKX (
FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[customer_id] = currentcustomer ),
'Table'[order_id],
,
ASC,
DENSE
)

Hi. I'm not clear how you know what the most recent order is. Is it based on the order_id as a number, or is there an order table with a date on it?
This just uses the order_id
Hi,
Thank you for your replys, both solutions works perfectly.
What if i want to rank my orders only for the year 2021 ? first order of 2021 ect..

Paul
