I've got this as incoming data...
I'm sending the data to a Sankey chart, where the "weight" is the DISTINCTCOUNT of customerkeys. I want to be able to offer the user a Top N chiclet slicer to keep the chart readable. To that end, I created a computed measure [dRanker], that will RANKX the number of customers over my [source] values...
The problem is that the Sankey chart needs both a [source] and a [dest] to make it useful. When I add a visual filter on the Sankey to only show where dRanker is <= 2, I get 9 different [source] values, not just the 2 highest ranked...
When I add [dest] to my data table, I can see that many more [source]s are getting RANKed as <= 2...
I'm guessing that's why I'm getting so many results in the Sankey as well, so... How do I tell RANKX() that I want it to rank over the DISTINCTCOUNT of CustomerKeys for BOTH [source] and [dest]? I feel like the tSQL RANK() function allows this, but I can't seem to find similar overload functionality for RANKX() in DAX.
Another approach that would be just as good... How could I get the Sankey chart to only show [source] values that appear in the original table above where the [source] ranking is correct?
Here's the dRanker DAX...
dRanker = RANKX(ALLSELECTED(FW17[source]), [CustCount])
... and the [CustCount] calculated measure...
CustCount = DISTINCTCOUNT(FW17[customerkey])
Am I thinking about this wrong? What's wrong with my brain. It's usually pretty good.
Hi @gjohnson900
First you need to detemine how to calcuate the DISTINCTCOUNT of customerkeys, in your previous step, you just add the column [customerkeys] to the table and select "count(distinct)", right? in this way, the result will change with the columns you add to the table.
Thus your [Rank] column also become different.
So first please let me know how you would like the DISTINCTCOUNT of customerkeys.
Best regards
