Calculations by Rank
I
In my Var column I'd like to calculate the variance between the current rank and the next rank down/lower rank (for each Type). Eg: for Type B (on row 7) rank 4 is 120 less rank 3 (on row 6) is 105 thefore variance = 15. Many thanks in advance!

Would the below work for you?
Var = VAR nextRank = Table1[Rank] + 1 VAR differnce = CALCULATE( VALUES(Table1[Value]), FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[Type]),Table1[Rank] = nextRank) ) - Table1[Value] RETURN IF( differnce >= 0, differnce, BLANK() )Anonymous -
The entire code block is your calculated column. Documentation on using VAR can be found @ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/var-dax and a nice example article can be found @ https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/variables-in-dax/

You're missing closing ' ) ' in a couple places.
Copy -> Paste my code and replace 'Table1' with 'Primary_ID' or try formatting multi-line by clicking ALT + ENTER so you can see your opening and closing Parentheses ' ( ' & ' )' respectively a little easier.

Hi Chris,
I'm afraid I don't really understand your reply (my fault).
Which bit, exactly, do I need to type into my formula bar?
Many thanks

In particular I don'r understand how to feed this expression into the formula;
Var = VAR nextRank = Table1[Rank] + 1
Thanks
