Rank decimal values using DAX
Is there a way to rank decimal values using DAX? I'm trying to rank the decimal values of the measure 'Random values' but i'm not getting the rank correctly. Measure used: Rank of random values =...

RANKX is hard. I'm pretty good with DAX but rarely get it right on the first try.
Standard RANKX:
RANKX ( ALL ( Table1[Name] ), [Random values],, ASC)The key here is iterating over distinct names rather than all of the rows of Table1.
Greg_Deckler's suggested approach is more like this:
Rank of random values = VAR CurrValue = [Random Values] RETURN COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( SUMMARIZE ( ALL ( Table1 ), Table1[Name], "Value", [Random Values] ), [Value] <= CurrValue ) )To me, this is a bit more intuitive than either of those above:
Rank of random values = RANKX ( SUMMARIZE ( ALL ( Table1 ), Table1[Name] ), [Random Values], , ASC ) - 4 years ago
Anonymous I just mocked this up because I was curious. I'm wondering if the problem lies in your [Random value] measure? Because when I put the information above in a table as columns I got the right answer:
Measure Rank of random values = RANKX( ALL(Table5),CALCULATE(SUM([Random values])),,ASC)
