Hi all,
I have a sum measure and a RankX measure based on the Sum Measure. Now I want to create a measure which uses the output of the Rankx Measure to change this number in order to be able to create A podium visual with a bar chart.
My data looks like this:
| Category | Sum of sales | Rank | Desired measure result |
| A | 1200 | 3 | 3 |
| B | 1500 | 1 | 2 |
| C | 1300 | 2 | 1 |
So If the Rank = 1 then 2, IF rank =2 then 1, IF rank =3 then 3
I Tried to use the following formula but it returns only 2 probably because of the row filter context.
Hope you can help me

It should work. Did you use correct syntax of SWITCH funtion?
should be
SWITCH (
TEUE ( ),
Measure = SWITCH([RANK],1,2,2,1,3)
| Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |
