RANKX shows all 1 even if I use ALL at table and CALCULATE

[Jessie_Ip]

Hi there,

I have issue for RANKX.

All fields are from same table with below column:

DOD - a date with year, quarter, month, day

I want to rank the count of DOD by monthly basis and sort from Jan to Dec. The Month column is from DOD.

Here's the DAX: 

DoD Rank =

RANKX(ALL(BEREAVEMENTRAW), CALCULATE(COUNT(BEREAVEMENTRAW[DOD].[Date])),,desc,Dense)

I've already used ALL at table and CALCULATE to do the context transition. any advise why it still show 1 for all?

Many thanks,

Jessie

DoD Rank =

RANKX(ALL(BEREAVEMENTRAW[month]), CALCULATE(COUNT(BEREAVEMENTRAW[DOD].[Date])),,desc,Dense)

Hi @bhanu_gautam ,

I have tried as below:

DoD Rank =

RANKX(

    ALL(BEREAVEMENTRAW[DOD]),

    CALCULATE(

        COUNTROWS(BEREAVEMENTRAW),

        BEREAVEMENTRAW[DOD].[Month]), ,desc,Dense)

but it shows:

 i check DOD and it's datetime format as '25/02/2020 00:00:00' not value January. Any advise?

Thanks,

Jessie

Hi, @Jessie_Ip 

I'm happy to answer your questions. We can achieve ranking by calculating columns and measures:

1.Implemented through measure：

We need to create two measures, measure2 is used to aggregate Count of DOD, measure is used to rank：

Measure2 DAX formula:

Measure 2 = SUM(Sheet3[Count of DOD])

Measure DAX formula:

Measure = CALCULATE(RANKX(ALL('Sheet3'),[Measure 2],,DESC,Dense))

The results are as follows:

2.Ranking is achieved by calculate columns:

Calculate columns DAX formula：

Column = RANKX(ALL(Sheet3),Sheet3[Count of DOD],,DESC,Dense)

The results are as follows:

I have provided the sample PBIX file used this time below. If the above suggestions are helpful to you, that would be great.

Hi @Anonymous 

Thank you for reply. DOD is a date so i use count as below:

COUNT_DOD = CALCULATE(COUNT(BEREAVEMENTRAW[DOD]), MONTH(BEREAVEMENTRAW[DOD]))

Then follow your way:

RANKX_DOD = CALCULATE(RANKX(ALL(BEREAVEMENTRAW), [COUNT_DOD],, DESC, Dense))

And it still show 

DOD is like this format: 25/02/2020 00:00:00

Any advise?

From what i find, I can't share the pbix file. If you can advise other way to share the file, I can try!

Many thanks,

Jessie

Hi, @Jessie_Ip 

Thank you for your reply. I understand your concerns, so I came up with a new way to calculate rankings. I created a new summary table through SUMMARIZE, and calculated the correct ranking through this summary table. According to your description DOD is date type data, I created the following data:

Create a new calculation table using the following DAX expression:

Table=SUMMARIZE (
    'Sheet5',
    Sheet5[Date].[Month],
    "Count DOD", CALCULATE ( COUNT ( 'Sheet5'[DOD] ), MONTH ( 'Sheet5'[DOD] ) )
)

The summary results are as follows:

Create a new column in this table for ranking. The DAX expression is as follows:

Rank = RANKX('Table','Table'[Count DOD],,DESC,Dense)

Ranking as follows:

Put this column into table visual:

I've provided the PBIX file used this time below. If you have any questions please let me know and I'll be happy to answer them.

The All(Berevementraw) needs a column reference, such as ALL(BEREVEMENT[DOD])

[bhanu_gautam]

@Jessie_Ip , Try using below method 

DoD Rank =
RANKX(
ALL(BEREAVEMENTRAW[DOD]),
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(BEREAVEMENTRAW),
BEREAVEMENTRAW[DOD].[Month]
),
,
DESC,
Dense
)
