I am trying to use RANKX to create a measure to rank percent changes in a summarized table with the below formula -- I am getting an error that the value for 'PercentChange' cannot be determined. Can you not rank over a summarized table in a measure?
RankPercentChange =
VAR MaxDate = MAX(Dates[Date])
RETURN RANKX(SUMMARIZE ( Data, [State], "AvgExpense", CALCULATE(AVERAGE ( Data[Expense] )), "AvgExpensePrevYr", CALCULATE (AVERAGE ( ResolutionData[SettlementAmount] ),Dates[Date] < MaxDate), "PercentChange", DIVIDE(AvgExpense - AvgExpensePrevYr, AvgExpensePrevYr,0) ) , [PercentChange],,DESC)
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hey,
I'm not sure but this "pattern" works for me, this measure returns a rank from a "summarized" table, but actually I'm using GROUPBY()
var atable = a DAX statement that returns a table return GROUPBY( ADDCOLUMNS( GROUPBY( atable ,'dim Category'[Category] ) ,"the Rank",[ms Rank] ) ,"Value", SUMX(CURRENTGROUP(), [the Rank]) )
This is the simple RANK measure that is used inside the statement above
ms Rank = RANKX( ALLSELECTED('dim category') ,[one Measure] )
Hopefully this gives you some idea how to adjust your Measure

Tom
