@Anonymous , If you want a column rank
ProfitRank = RANKX('Sheet1','Sheet1'[Profit]) // create a new column -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDS_Vi4r9I4
for measure
ProfitRank = RANKX('Sheet1',calculate(sum('Sheet1'[Profit]))) // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZb_6j6WuZ0&t=210s

Hi,
RANKX() should be written as a measure (not as a calculated column formula). To your Table visual, drag Product to the row labels. Write these measures:
Total profit = sum(Data[profit])
Profit rank = rankx(all(data[product]),[total profit])
Hope this helps.
Thanks for reply
I'm sorry i wasn't clear enough.
The profit row cannot be sum because that row is Cumulative profit
Is that a way to only rank 2021 profit?
