I am attempting to create the simplest of Rank measures! I have a single table (SalesData) of data, with a column called "Cost of Sales".
I want to create a basic rankx function which ranks a dimension by the Cost of Sales. Sounds simple! But I cannot get this to show a result other than 1 every time no matter how I write this DAX. Any suggestions? I am sure it's something daft!

Hello,
You were on the right track by using ALL. The only issue now is that since you remove all filters the values are same for all rows so every row returns one. By adding a column reference the calculation should work. E.g. all(SalesTable[Region])

Whilst @ValtteriN solution works, I am still a bit confused about this. Reviewing several articles about this function, the implication is you can simply use a format like RANKX(SalesTable, [COS Measure]).

In this article it states:
Thank you @ValtteriN .
