    HI Anonymous ,

     

    You need to break the RANK TIES.

     

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/rankx-function-dax

     

    The functionality of dense is 

     

    Dense

    The next rank value, after a tie, is the next rank value. For example if five (5) values are tied with a rank of 11 then the next value will receive a rank of 12.

     

    You will need a rank breaker.

     

    Use RAND

    RANKING = RANKX(ALLSELECTED('MyDataTablev 1'[Product EAN],'MyDataTablev 1'[language]),[PRODUCTSCAN] + RAND(),,DESC,dense)

     

    else 

     

    RANKING = RANKX(FILTER(ALLSELECTED('MyDataTablev 1'[language] = MAX('MyDataTablev 1'[language])),[PRODUCTSCAN] ,,DESC,dense)

     

     

    Else please share some sample data and the expected output
