Computing Rank using 2 measures

I have a data model in which I have created two measures,  m_personal_recruits -> tells how many recruits have been hired by a manager m_personal_recruit_qv -> tells how much sales the new recruits...

    I think the id column is causing the issue. You'll need to add that to the ALLSELECTED, e.g.

    Rank =
VAR BaseTable =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        FILTER (
            ADDCOLUMNS (
                ALLSELECTED ( 'Table'[Manager], 'Table'[id] ),
                "@PersonalRecruits", [m_personal_recruits]
            ),
            [@PersonalRecruits] > 0
        ),
        "@QV", [m_personal_recruits_qv]
    )
VAR Result =
    RANK ( BaseTable, ORDERBY ( [@PersonalRecruits], DESC, [@QV], DESC ) )
RETURN
    Result

    You'll also need to add any other columns from the same table which are in the visual.

The RANK function allows you to specify multiple items to sort on, so you could create a measure like

Rank =
VAR BaseTable =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Table'[Manager] ),
        "@PersonalRecruits", [m_personal_recruits],
        "@QV", [m_personal_recruits_qv]
    )
VAR Result =
    RANK ( BaseTable, ORDERBY ( [@PersonalRecruits], DESC, [@QV], DESC ) )
RETURN
    Result

Hi johnt75 ,

Thanks for this. The table is a huge one and so the query exceeds resources. Is there anyway to filter the data first to get only records that have [m_personal_recruits]>0 and then to rank?

I tried to filter within ALLSELECTED() but in vain.

    Try

    Rank =
VAR BaseTable =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        FILTER (
            ADDCOLUMNS (
                ALLSELECTED ( 'Table'[Manager] ),
                "@PersonalRecruits", [m_personal_recruits]
            ),
            [@PersonalRecruits] > 0
        ),
        "@QV", [m_personal_recruits_qv]
    )
VAR Result =
    RANK ( BaseTable, ORDERBY ( [@PersonalRecruits], DESC, [@QV], DESC ) )
RETURN
    Result

      Thanks, I tried this and also tried the same solution with a few different formats before your message. I can make it work for my purpose by using the rank column as a filter on Manager to filter by Bottom N.

      However if I pop it in the visual, ranks for all Managers are 1.

      Below is the screenshot where I have filtered by Bottom 5 (since I want ranks from 1 to 5)

            ),
            [@PersonalRecruits] > 0
        ),
        "@QV", [m_personal_recruits_qv]

    Hi kk_shp_user ,
    Thank you for the follow up! To help us suggest the best approach, could you please share a small sample data and the DAX for your two measures? Also, a quick note on how your visual and filters are set up would really help us understand the scenario better to provide better solution.

    Regards,
