How to rank based on date closest to current date

[Anonymous]

I have a measure that calculates shortage dates of a column of items. How do I create a column/measure that outputs a 1-5 ranking based off how closely the shortage date of those items is with the current date. So a 10 would be the closest shortage dates. 5 = within one month, 4 = within two months, ... etc.

Hi @Anonymous ,

According to your description, here's my solution.

Create a measure.

Rank =
RANKX (
    ALL ( 'Table' ),
    DATEDIFF ( [Shortage Date], TODAY (), DAY ),
    ,
    DESC,
    DENSE
)

In my sample, [Shortage Date] is a also a measure, get the correct result.

I attach my sample below for reference.
