Sort it this way:
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name = "Table1"]}[Content],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(
Source,
{{"Customer", type text}, {"KPI", type text}, {"Value", type number}, {"Ranking Direction", type text}}
),
#"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(
#"Changed Type",
{"KPI"},
{
{
"Detail",
each Table.AddRankColumn(
_,
"Rank",
if _[Ranking Direction]{0} = "Descending" then {{"Value", Order.Descending}} else {{"Value", Order.Ascending}}
)
}
}
),
Custom1 = Table.Combine(#"Grouped Rows"[Detail])
