Filter null values within Rank

Hi All,

 

Can you help, please? I'm trying to filter account the blank record from the following rank calculation:

ChangeManagerRank = 
RANKX ( ALLSELECTED ( sduser_cm[FullName] ), CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT(changedetails[changeid] ) ) )

I'm pretty new to PowerBI, so any help would be appreciated!

 

Kind Regards,

Dayna

Hi Dayna,

 

You should filter the blank value first in your measure, try modifying your measure like pattern below:

ChangeManagerRank =
RANKX (
    ALLSELECTED ( sduser_cm[FullName] ),
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( changedetails[changeid] ),
        FILTER ( changedetails, changedetails[changeid] <> BLANK () )
    )
)

Regards,

Jimmy Tao

Hi Dayna,

 

Which column is containing blank value, [FullName] or [changid]? Could you share some sample data and clarify more details about your requirement and issue?

 

Regards,

Jimmy Tao

Hi @v-yuta-msft,

 

It's the [FullName] that is blank, the return of my rank looks like this:

FullName        Rank

                        1

Joe Bloggs       2

Sarah Smith     3

 

The changeid is a count of all changes in a system, if the status = standard, then there's no person assigned, whereas the rest do. Really, this needs to be a count where status is not null.

 

Many thanks,

Dayna

@Dayna Could you please post what is your sample input and your expected output. I appreciate that you already posted some sample data, but to be more clear and to avoid any confusion.

Of course, this is what I'm getting:

FullName        Rank

                        1

Joe Bloggs       2

Sarah Smith     3

 

And this is what I need:

FullName        Rank

Joe Bloggs       1

Sarah Smith     2
