Dynamic Row_Number

Hi,

I have a requirement where I have employees and their marks by class and year as mentioned below. In the below example, Year is my slicer. Based on this slicers selection I have to rank the employees based on their marks also the row numbers.

Actual Data:

EmployeeNameYearTotal Marks
Sofia201997
Mohan201996
Peter201990
Abhishek201990
Chris201890
Mike201858
Chaitanya201858
Paul201847
Raman201745
Bliss201734
Vinod201734
Karthik201729
Anand201623
Raju201623

 

For example 1: If I select 2019 as Year, then my expected output should be

EmployeeNameTotal MarksRankRow Number
Sofia9711
Mohan9622
Peter9033
Abhishek9034

 

For example 2: If I select 2017 as Year, then my expected output should be

EmployeeNameTotal MarksRankRow Number
Raman4511
Bliss3422
Vinod3423
Karthik2934

 

For example 3: If I select all Years, then my expected output should be

EmployeeNameTotal MarksRankRow Number
Sofia9711
Mohan9622
Peter9033
Abhishek9034
Chris9035
Mike5846
Chaitanya5847
Paul4758
Raman4569
Bliss34710
Vinod34711
Karthik29812
Anand23913
Raju23914

 

I got the Rank covered as expected using the below Rank measure.

Rank = 
RANKX (
    ALLSELECTED ( Employee[EmployeeName] ),
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( Employee[totalMarks] ) ),
    ,
    DESC,
    DENSE
)

Can someone help me with how to get this Row_Number in Power BI using DAX to work dynamically on Slicer selection?

 

Thanks in advance!

@Anonymous ,

 

You need to create an addtional index and then create a measure using DAX below:

Row Number = 
COUNTROWS (
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( Employee ),
        COUNTROWS (
            FILTER (
                Employee,
                Employee[Total Marks] <= EARLIER ( Employee[Total Marks] )
                    && Employee[Index] >= EARLIER ( Employee[Index] )
            )
        )
    )
)

It's exactly the same as your RANKX function, just find some way to break ties and incorporate that in it - maybe just add an index and use that

Hi @jthomson,

 

Thanks for your response. I tried with Index, but no luck.

            )

    )

Hi @v-yuta-msft 

 

Thanks for your solution. This is great! But the thing is it is working for the pre-calculated ranks. But as per your screenshots, you selected 2019 and we have 4 students listed with rank and row numbers which is correct. In my scenario, out of those 4 students, Mohan is in row 2 and rank 2. Mohan may also present in rank 1 and row 1 when we select 2018.

 

In this dynamic scenario, it is not working because the row number is calculating based on the predefined Index values.

@Anonymous ,

Could you explain more about this? From the data you have given, in year 2018, there's no "Mohan" in EmployeeName.
