Exclude items from RANKX evaluation and

Hello,

 

I am trying to rank the performance of my Districts based on their YoY Growth using RANKX().

 

Current formula, where Custom is a flag to exclude specific districts:

if(
            hasonevalue(Local[DISTRICT]),
            calculate(rankx(FILTER(all(Local),Local[Custom]=0),FPins[PINS YTD YoY Δ]),ALLEXCEPT(Local,Local[DISTRICT])),
"-")
 

 

 

However, my current formula doesn't work. It needs to exclude Districts with "OTHER" in their name. Also, the Ranking must stay valid when I filter the table visual. Let's say I only keep North America Districts via a filter, the ranking of the district must stay the same.

 

Any ideas ?

 

Thanks.

    Hi Stemar_Aubert 

     

    Sorry, my bad, FILTER can only accept one-two arguments, try the below instead.

    VAR _search = "OTHER"
VAR _tbl =
    CALCULATETABLE(
        FILTER(
            ALLSELECTED( Local[DISTRICT] ),
            SEARCH( _search, Local[DISTRICT], 1, 0 ) = 0
        ),
        Local[Custom] = 0
    )
RETURN
IF(
    SEARCH( _search, SELECTEDVALUE( Local[DISTRICT] ),  1, 0 ) = 0,
    RANKX( _tbl, [PINS YTD YoY Δ] ) 
)

    Hi Stemar_Aubert 

     

    Sure, try something like below.

    VAR _search = "OTHER"
VAR _tbl =
    FILTER(
        ALLSELECTED( Local[DISTRICT] ),
        SEARCH( _search, Local[DISTRICT], 1, 0 ) = 0,
        Local[Custom] = 0
    ) 
RETURN
IF(
    SEARCH( _search, SELECTEDVALUE( Local[DISTRICT] ),  1, 0 ) = 0,
    RANKX( _tbl, [PINS YTD YoY Δ] ) 
)

        Thank you so much!

         

        I have adjusted the formula by switching ALLSELECTED to ALL, because my tables must only show a specific region District.

         

        The "OTHER" districts are removed and not included in the Ranking, which is perfect.

         

         

        There is a blank District, which might be removed using a filter excluding the blanks districts. 

         

        Just a final question. If I want the Rank to be a specific value (like "-") when more than one district is displayed, where should I put the if(hasonevalue() statement ?

         

        Thanks again!

         

        Edit: Nevermind, I had a discrepant value in another table creating the blank. Solved it.

      Hi Mariusz ,

      thank you for helping. So what you do is create two variables, one that search valid districts, and one that ranks the PINS YTD YoY Δ based on a table of valid districts ?

       

      However, I have a slight issue, Filter refuses to accept the Local[Custom] = 0 argument. Is it needed since you have already the Search function looking for 0 ?

       

      Thanks,
