RANKX Help

I have a table with the following columns.

 

Person

Site

Manager

IncidentID

 

I want my visualization to be:

Person, Site, Manager, DISTINCTCOUNT(IncidentID), Rank(1 - whatever, based on the distinct count in the table).

 

Rough data I'd like displayed in the table:

Bob, Site A, Manager 1, 50, 1

Steve, Site C, Mgr 2, 49, 2

Bob, Site A, Manager 2, 47, 3

 

Everything I try for RANKX shows 1 for the rank. I've tried Measures and Calculated Column. Any help?

rank as new column = rank(all(table),table[IncidentID])

That did not work. I'm trying the following Measure but it only works if Manager is not in the visualization.

 

Measure = IF(ISINSCOPE(MyTable[Manager]),RANKX(ALLSELECTED(MyTable),CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(MyTable[INCIDENTID])),,DESC,DENSE),RANKX(ALLSELECTED(MyTable[Person]),CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(MyTable[INCIDENTID])),,DESC,DENSE))

Found another solution that is close but the rank numbers are off, especially if Manager is empty:

 

Measure 3 =
Var summry = SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED(MyTable),[Person],"DistCount",DISTINCTCOUNT(MyTable[INCIDENTID]))
var tmp = ADDCOLUMNS(summry,"RNK", RANKX(summry,[DistCount],,DESC,DENSE))
return
MAXX(FILTER(tmp,[Person]=SELECTEDVALUE(MyTable[Person])),[RNK])

 

Gives the following output. The second row should be rank 2 and the first row should be rank 1. I've blocked out any preson information. Columns are Person, manager, distinct count of IDs then 3 measure I'm trying for rank. Last column is the measure above.

Hi @TCavins ,

 

Try  to create a calculated column as below:

 

 

 

Column =
VAR summry =
    SUMMARIZE (
        ALLSELECTED ( MyTable ),
        [Person],
        "DistCount", DISTINCTCOUNT ( MyTable[INCIDENTID] )
    )
RETURN
    RANKX ( summry, [DistCount],, DESC, DENSE )

 

 

 

Best Regards,
Kelly

This isn't working for me.
