@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

@Anonymous , is it a measure or column ?

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

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?
