    Hi, Anonymous 

    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, Anonymous 

Based on your DAX, I used the following sample data:

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

Here are the results:

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.
