Hi HungryPowerBIer,

You can also use the alternative approach by creating a new table on top of your base table.
Go to the Data tab on the left hand side, then go to modelling tab and under the calculations, you would see the new table.
Select and Paste the below DAX Syntax,

MyTable= SUMMARIZE(BaseTable,
BaseTable[Fruit],
"TotalRows",COUNTROWS(BaseTable))

And then create a calculated column in your newly created MyTable using the below syntax to get the ranking of the products.
RankingColumn= COUNTROWS(FILTER(MyTable,EARLIER([TotalRows])>[TotalRows]))+1

Thanks,
Bhavesh
