Rank a column but in case of same values consider another column too for ranking

[RAHEEL]

Hi All, 

I need help to rank below dataset using dax function in power bi.

I have resources and I want to assign them unique numbers based on their experience, but if more than 1 resource has the same experience then also consider age column and who is elder get the smaller number (i.e. higher rank)

e.g. R1, R3 and R5 all have 11 yrs of exp and will get a normal rank of 1 but I want them to assign 3,1 & 2 ranks respectively as per below data based on their exp and age.

I also donot want to skip any of the sequence in rank numbers.

Kindly assist.

Also, I am not sure if there is anyother of doing the same thing other than Rank function.Last column in RED i.e. RankingColumn is the desired output column. Much appreciated. Thanks

resource	Exp	Age	RankingColumn
R1	11	40	3
R2	10	38	4
R3	11	42	1
R4	6	28	4
R5	11	41	2
R6	5	26	5

Regards,

Raheel

Hi @RAHEEL

In that case

First Add an Index Column to your Table Using QueryEditor/Power Query

Now you can use this formula

RANK=
RANKX (
    Table1,
    Table1[Exp]
        + Table1[Age] / 100
        + Table1[Index] / 1000,
    ,
    DESC,
    DENSE
)

Hi @RAHEEL

Try this technique

Add an Assistant Calculated Column

Assistant Column =
Table1[Exp]
    + Table1[Age] / 100

Now you can Rank using this Column

RANK=
RANKX ( Table1, Table1[Assistant Column],, DESC, DENSE )

Infact no need for the Assistant Column.

This Calculated Column should suffice

RANK =
RANKX ( Table1, Table1[Exp] + Table1[Age] / 100,, DESC, DENSE )

Perfect....this worked...BUT there is still one issue....where both the age and exp are same it is resulting in the same Rank...any idea how to manage this? 

Your time is much appreciated:)
