Hello Power BI community!
Need some urgent help in converting the following measure to a calculated column. The min purpose is that I can use this new column as a legend for my pie chart.
Ranking SingleSelect = RANKX(ALLSELECTED('df_Search Order (First)'[Search Order (First)]), [Category_Occasion_SingleSelect%], , DESC, Dense)

Hi, @PriyankaJhaTheA
Thank you very much for your reply. Here's how I handle ranking with measure in calculated columns:
1. First of all, use the summarize function to summarize the measure, here I simply create a measure as shown in the following photos:
I use the following DAX to call this measure and generate a calculation table:
Table =
SUMMARIZE (
'df_Search Order (First)',
'df_Search Order (First)'[Search Order (First)],
"result", [category_Occasion_%]
)
Here are the results:
You need to replace [category_Occasion_%] with your measure.
2. Create a connection for the two tables:
3.The following DAX is used for ranking in the original table:
Ranking SingleSelect =
RANKX ( 'df_Search Order (First)', RELATED ( 'Table'[result] ),, DESC, SKIP )
Here are the results:
Hi, @PriyankaJhaTheA

Ranking SingleSelect =
RANKX (
'df_Search Order (First)',
[Category_Occasion_SingleSelect%],
,
DESC,
DENSE
)

Hello @Anonymous
Thanks for helping here!
But I'm getting this error here when I run this code. This might be because [Category_Occasion_SingleSelect%] is a measure. Can there be another way?
Also, I'm trying to convert this into a column because I want to use this as a legend in my pie chart. But I cannot add a measure as a legend.

Hello @PriyankaJhaTheA,
Can you please try the following:
Ranking SingleSelect =
RANKX(
ALL('df_Search Order (First)'),
CALCULATE(SUM('df_Search Order (First)'[Category_Occasion_SingleSelect%])),
,
DESC,
Dense
)
