Hi,
I have data with multiple groups. I want to rank them within each group. For example:
| Product category | Product | Sales volume | Rank |
| Machinery | A | 50 | 3 |
| Machinery | B | 320 | 1 |
| Machinery | C | 51 | 2 |
Equipment | D | 70 | 2 |
| Equipment | E | 80 | 1 |
| Other | F | 600 | 1 |
How can i create a measure that does the ranking dynamically? I don't want to write a filter where i need to type a the names of all the categories separately.
Thank you in advance!

Can you try the following measure?
RNK =
RANKX(
ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[Product category]),
CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Sales volume]))

@CarlsBerg999 You can try something like in this blog post. For your sample data, replace [Category] with [Product Category] and [Sub Category] with [Product]:

This returns a ranking of "1" to all rows for some reason.
