    Hi stblonde,

    I tried your first solution, but it showed up an Error (The column "date" cannot be found) :smileysad:

    You shouldn't leave the VAR Function (DAX) in your formula. The formula below is for your reference.:smileyhappy:

    Rank =
VAR d = Tableau1[Date]
VAR c = Tableau1[Campaign ID]
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        RANK.EQ ( d, Tableau1[Date], ASC ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( Tableau1 ), Tableau1[Campaign ID] = c )
    )

    And the formula above should also meet your requirements:

     

     

    Here is the sample pbix file for your reference.

Hi stblonde,

 

According to your description, you should be able to use RANK.EQ Function (DAX) to create the "Rank" column in this scenario. See my sample below.:smileyhappy:

 

I assume you have a table called "Table1" like below.

 

 

Then you should be able to use the formula below to create a calculate column to calculate the Rank for each Campaign.

Rank = 
VAR d = Table1[Date]
VAR c = Table1[Campaign ID]
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        RANK.EQ ( d, Table1[Date], ASC ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( Table1 ), Table1[Campaign ID] = c )
    )

 

Regards

    Hi v-ljerr-msft,

     

    First, thank you for your reply. My mistake, it's almost what I am looking for, but the Campaign ID can appear the same day with another one. I tried your first solution, but it showed up an Error (The column "date" cannot be found) :smileysad:

     

     

    The idea is to get the ranking per campaign ID within period. For instance below, the Campaign 1 has been communicated 4 times (2, 4, 5 & 8 of december) so it will follow this sequence, but the Campaign 2 has been communicated to on the second of december as well like underneath:

     

     

    Regards,

    Steve

        Hi v-ljerr-msft, 

         

        Thank you ! It works pretty well on Power BI Desktop.

         

         

        But I have another request how can it work directly within Excel Power Pivot interface ? Because the Var function doesn't seem to work outside of Power BI Desktop interface.

         

        Thank a lot,

        Steve
