Hi,
My SQL query is this ;
SELECT
CommitteeName,
AllotmentMainID,
ApprovedTotalLimit,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY CommitteeName,AllotmentMainID ORDER BY ApprovedTotalLimit DESC) AS RN
FROM Allotment;
I want to write in Dax. How to write Row Number in Dax?
Please Help.
Thanx 🙂

use rankx like
Column =
RANKX(
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[CommitteeName]=EARLIER('Table'[CommitteeName]) && 'Table'[AllotmentMainID]=EARLIER('Table'[AllotmentMainID])
),
'Table'[ApprovedTotalLimit], , DESC
)
I think DAX is utter nonsense, compared to the simplicity of SQL !
Thank you for your answer but I I could not tell sorry.
For Example :
| CommitteeName | AllotmentMainID | ApprovedTotalLimit | |
| A | 100 | 2500 | |
| A | 100 | 2500 | |
| A | 100 | 3000 | |
| B | 200 | 5000 | |
| C | 300 | 10000 | |
| C | 300 | 5000 |
Result :
| CommitteeName | AllotmentMainID | ApprovedTotalLimit | RowNumber |
| A | 100 | 3000 | 1 |
| A | 100 | 2500 | 2 |
| A | 100 | 2500 | 3 |
| B | 200 | 5000 | 1 |
| C | 300 | 10000 | 1 |
| C | 300 | 5000 | 2 |
I want to this.
Thank U:)

how do you want to break a tie-situations?
you can add an Index column in powe query and the create a dax rankx calculated column
Column =
RANKX(
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[CommitteeName]=EARLIER('Table'[CommitteeName]) && 'Table'[AllotmentMainID]=EARLIER('Table'[AllotmentMainID])
),
'Table'[ApprovedTotalLimit] + [Index]/1000000, , DESC, Skip
)
