Hi @Anonymous ,

Like this?

Measure = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM(Sales[Sale 2014]),
    FILTER(
        ALL(Sales),
        Sales[Month] = MAX(Sales[Month])&& Sales[CountryRegion] = MAX(Sales[CountryRegion])
    )
)

Measure 2 = 
RANKX(
    FILTER( ALLSELECTED(Sales), Sales[CountryRegion] = MAX(Sales[CountryRegion]) ),
    [Measure],
    , ASC, Dense
)

Or like this?

Measure 3 = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM(Sales[Sale 2014]),
    FILTER(
        ALL(Sales),
        Sales[Month] = MAX(Sales[Month])
    )
)

Measure 4 = 
RANKX(
    FILTER( ALLSELECTED(Sales),Sales[CountryRegion] = MAX(Sales[CountryRegion]) ),
    [Measure 3],
    , ASC, Dense
)

@v-lionel-msft thank you for this, so the way i am looking to do it, is if you added your country to sit below the month on the left of matrix, you would have your ranking by month but whne you open up the month it then will give you the ranking for the countries in that month so based on the 4 countries it would rank them 1 to 4 then if i was to drill into the the country i could then get more infornation etc

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please create measures like this.

Measure = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM(Sales[Sale 2014]),
    FILTER(
        ALL(Sales),
        Sales[Month] = MAX(Sales[Month]) && Sales[CountryRegion] = MAX(Sales[CountryRegion])
    )
)

Measure 2 = 
VAR x =  
RANKX(
    FILTER( ALLSELECTED(Sales), Sales[Month] = MAX(Sales[Month]) ),
    [Measure],
    , ASC, Dense
)
VAR y =  
RANKX(
    FILTER( ALLSELECTED(Sales), Sales[CountryRegion] = MAX(Sales[CountryRegion]) ),
    [Measure],
    , ASC, Dense
)
RETURN
IF(
    HASONEFILTER(Sales[CountryRegion]),
    x, y
)

@Anonymous , You need rank for month ?

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format?

HI @Anonymous ,

Try measure like

Measure = IF ([Total] <> BLANK() , RANKX ......  ))

Also, if you can share sample data.

Thanks @harshnathani any idea how i could do the change of ranking by month piece?

[amitchandak]

@Anonymous , you have use isinscope and change ranking

https://www.kasperonbi.com/use-isinscope-to-get-the-right-hierarchy-level-in-dax/

example

Rank1 = Rankx(all(Table[Month]),[Sales])

Rank2 = Rankx(all(Table[Date]),[Sales])

SWITCH (
TRUE,
ISINSCOPE ( Table[Month] ), [Rank1],
ISINSCOPE ( Table[Date] ), [Rank2],
[Rank3]
)

@amitchandak so in my matrix i am trying to Rank with i have Username/Month/Region/Category then i want to rank by the total sales. But when i add my currently measure of rank Rankx(ALL(Username),[Total Sales]) it gets confused and just displays ones when i drill down from username to month then region and category. I have tried to use isinscope but can't see to get it working

HI @Anonymous ,

Try DateADD function to rank for last month.

Then calculate the difference.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can try to use the below measure to do the rank:

Measure = RANKX(filter(all(month),your_rank_measure > 0),your_rank_measure,,desc)

Please try.

If it's not what you want, please show some sample data and your data model.

Thanks.
