Hi all,
i'm struggling with a chalenge to obtain measures with correspondent values of a column where rank is n; the table is virtual, a summarized one in dax with rank added.
initial_table:
Attr | result |
A | 1 |
A | 2 |
B | 3 |
B | 3 |
B | 3 |
C | 3 |
C | 3 |
D | 10 |
summarized virtual table is like this:
Attr | result | _rank_desc |
A | 3 | 4 |
B | 9 | 2 |
C | 6 | 3 |
D | 10 | 1 |
and i need
measure1 = C
measure2 = 6
where rank is 3; related values for it
Thanks,
Cosmin
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @cosminc ,
You can create a what-if parameter to provide the dynamic rank n.
Use what-if parameters to visualize variables - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
Then create the following two measure.
Measure1 = var _table=SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Attr],"res",SUM('Table'[result]))
var _table2= ADDCOLUMNS(_table,"rank",RANKX(_table,[res],,DESC,Dense))
return MAXX(FILTER(_table2,[rank]=SELECTEDVALUE(Parameter[Parameter])),[Attr])
Measure2 = var _table=SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Attr],"res",SUM('Table'[result]))
var _table2= ADDCOLUMNS(_table,"rank",RANKX(_table,[res],,DESC,Dense))
return MAXX(FILTER(_table2,[rank]=SELECTEDVALUE(Parameter[Parameter])),[res])
You can download my attachment for details.

perfect!! this i didn't know
MAXX(FILTER(_table2,[rank]=SELECTEDVALUE(Parameter[Parameter])),[res])
Thanks a lot!
