    Hi  omaffud ,

Hi omaffud ,

 

You can create rank column like DAX below. Choose the revenue in Field Pane, then click sort by column Rank.

 

Rank= RANKX(FILTER(Table1 ,Table1 [Year]=EARLIER(Table1 [Year])),Table1 [revenue],, Desc, Dense)

 

 

 

 

 

Best Regards,

Amy

I was looking for a simpler solution, like we do in Excel, where we can select the column and sort after that. Maybe this is a suggestion from improvement in Power BI.
