Issue with RankX function - giving Rank 1 for all the records of Month Name by Sales

I am trying to create a line chart for Top N Sales amount by Month.

When I use RankX function to Rank the Sales by Month Name it gives same rank for all 12 months.

 

Below is the DAX:

Rank_TopN = RankX(ALL(financials[Month Name]), Calculate(Sum(financials[Sales])), , Desc,Dense)

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated 🙂

Thanks!

Hi @Shv ,

 

Is Month Name a text string and being custom sorted by an other column? If so, include that in ALL as well.
