Rank dynamically

Hi,

 

I have data with multiple groups. I want to rank them within each group. For example:

 

Product categoryProductSales volumeRank
MachineryA503
MachineryB3201
MachineryC512

Equipment

D702
EquipmentE801
OtherF6001

 

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]: 

 

RANKX (
FILTER(
ALL(
'Table'[Category],
'Table'[Sub Category]
),
'Table'[Category] = MAX('Table'[Category])
),
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[My Value]))
)
