    Hi Shamsbutt ,

    Indeed, functionally, ‘RANKX()’ is more widely used than ‘RANK.EQ’.

     

    But, because of the different parameters, the calculation mechanism of the two is different.
    In other words, they have different context.

    (Even when they sort the same column, they use different data of the table, so it affects computing performance)
