@wsuess , You should able to rank, what is error you are getting

 

ItemRank = RANKX(ALL('Table'[Part Number]),'Table'[Part Number])

or

ItemRank = RANKX(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Part Number])

or

ItemRank = RANKX(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Part Number],,asc,dense)

Hi @wsuess 

What is the problem exactly? 

How would you like to sort/rank the text data? Following what rules?

Probably best to convert the text to number in a way that respects the order you want to observe

And best if you can share the pbix or some sample data like that shown in the pic but in text format so that it can be readily copied

Please mark the question solved when done and consider giving a thumbs up if posts are helpful.

Contact me privately for support with any larger-scale BI needs, tutoring, etc.

Cheers
