    Hi jcastr02 ,

    Adjust to the below and sort by rank2:

    RANK = var q1=FORMAT('Table'[Date],"YYYYMM")   var q2=FORMAT(TODAY(),"YYYYMM")    var value1=q1-q2   return value1
    rank2 = var q1=FORMAT('Table'[Date],"YYYYMM")   var q2=FORMAT(TODAY(),"YYYYMM")    return if(q1-q2<0,ABS(q1-q2)+MAXX('Table','Table'[RANK]),q1-q2)

     

    Or rank 2 use the below :

    rank2 = var q1=FORMAT('Table'[Date],"YYYYMM")   var q2=FORMAT(TODAY(),"YYYYMM")    return if(q1-q2<0,MAXX('Table','Table'[RANK])+ABS(MINX('Table','Table'[RANK]))+(q1-q2),q1-q2)

    Output:

This isnt working for me because of the circular dependancy; referencing the Date column in the calculated column which you are then going to tell Date to sort by.  how did you get around that?
