Ranking Logic not working as expected when filters are applied

Hi Everyone,

Am a newbie to PowerBI. I came across a scenario where my "Ranking" Column is not working as expected in my original dashboard. I tried to recreate the same scenario with some dummy data as shown in the snippets.

Snippet 1: Base table "Table" showing the data for certain fields, Country, City, Place, Cat Type and Continent.

Snippet 2:  New Table "Slicer Table" - created using UNION of selected columns from Base Table - "Table".

* Logic for Value(Dynamic) - Measure in Table is:

Value (Dynamic) =
VAR CategorySelection = SELECTEDVALUE(SlicerTable[Selection], "City")
RETURN
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    CategorySelection = "Country", CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Value]), TREATAS(VALUES(SlicerTable[Category]), 'Table'[Country])),
    CategorySelection = "City", CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Value]), TREATAS(VALUES(SlicerTable[Category]), 'Table'[City])),
    CategorySelection = "Place", CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Value]), TREATAS(VALUES(SlicerTable[Category]), 'Table'[Place]))
   
)



*Logic for Ranking - Calculated Column in Slicer Table is:

Ranking =
VAR CurrentSelection = SlicerTable[Selection]
RETURN
RANKX(
    FILTER(SlicerTable, SlicerTable[Selection] = CurrentSelection),
    SlicerTable[Total],,DESC
)

- Merged 3 different categories (City, County and Place) to act as a single Slicer and rows for Category Column changes as per the choice in selection slicer. Now when i tried to keep filters (continent,Cat Type) from "Table" to this page - my ranking logic is not working as expected in my original report where as its working fine in the below snippet with dummy data.

My Objective: Ranking logic should work as expected and provide the consistent descending order, even if we select any filters from "Table" on the above Graph. 
In my original file, i used  Ranking with descending order, the values will be consistent for few rows and the sequence gets messed up in between. Can anyone please help me out?
