RANKX measure including filtered out rows...

[SteveODea]

Can anyone help me with my DAX syntax?

I have created a measure which ranks the number of applications received across a range of academic programmes

Rank = RANKX(ALLSELECTED('Application Folder Advanced'[Academic Programme]),

[CountOfApplications],,DESC,Skip)

This works fine until I put a filter on the visualisation and the measure continues to rank

the number of applications, even though the count of applications is blank.

What should my DAX look like so it only Ranks the visible items (I would've thought ALLSELECTED would

have taken care of this)?

@SteveODea 

Try:

Rank Count Values = IF([CountOfApplications] > 0, [rank], BLANK())

Or

Rank = RANKX(FILTER(ALL('Application Folder Advanced'[Academic Programme]), [CountOfApplications]> 0), [CountOfApplications],,DESC,Skip)

Thanks @PaulDBrown 

As ever a simple solution works the best! That was in my blind spot

The first one works perfectly.

No joy with the second.

Thanks for the feedback

Hey @SteveODea 

I believe @amitchandak  is correct. But also check out the thread below for more information:

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/RANKX-with-Slicers/td-p/69239

Also, check your CountOfApplication field in the visual field pane to make sure that "Show Items With No Data" is not selected.

If this helps please kudo.

If this solves your problem please accept it as a solution.

Thanks @Tad17 & @amitchandak 

I substituted ALL for ALLSELECTED but this did not work.

@Tad17  you mentioned the visual field panel...where is this exactly?

Also, my CountOfApplications measure is as follows:

CountOfApplications = DISTINCTCOUNT('Application Folder Advanced'[Reference Number])

but I do not encouter the filter problem when I just have this measure in my visualisaton...it's only when I include my Rank measure

No blanks here!

It's probably something very simple, but I can't figure it out!

@SteveODea 

The field pane is where you drag the values to be used in the visual. If you click the drop down arrow and you choose to show items with no data.

@Tad17 

Thanks but this only appears for my programmes column and is unchecked - this option does not appear for either of my measures...

[amitchandak]

I think it should be all in place of allselected. But refer these
