Solved: Rank function is not working properly. Want to see...

ArundhatiD · ‎11-10-2022

Hi Team,

I have data with few columns for different teams.I want to display only last 5 sprints data in my bar chart displaying count of workitems vs sprint. When i try to use rank function its not working for me.I also tried at power query group rows but its giving wiered result.Each team is having IterationCycle with different number of sprints in it.

Sample data is attached herewith.

Work Item

Team

Iteration

IterationCycle

Sprint

Sprint.startDate

Sprint.Enddate

-ASD

Hi @ArundhatiD ,

Please update the formula of the measure [Rank] as below and check if that is what you want. You can find the details in the attachment.

Rank = 
VAR _selprj =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Project] )
VAR _seldept =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Department] )
VAR _selteam =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Team] )
RETURN
    RANKX (
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[Project] = _selprj
                && 'Table'[Department] = _seldept
                && 'Table'[Team] = _selteam
        ),
        CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Sprint.startDate] ) ),
        ,
        DESC,
        DENSE
    )

Best Regards

Hi @ArundhatiD ,

I created a sample pbix file(see attachment) for you, please check whether that is what you want.

1. Create a measure as below:

Rank = 
VAR _selteam =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Team] )
RETURN
    RANKX (
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Team] = _selteam ),
        CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Sprint.startDate] ) ),
        ,
        DESC,
        DENSE
    )

2. Create a bar chart and apply the visual-level filter with the condition(Rank is less than or equal to 5)

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

Hi Yingyinr,

Thank you very much ,Calculation is Working fine,

Can you suggest what changes i need to do in the calculation ,if i have Project and Department ,2 more levels (filters) along with Team. As I have 2 more levels in my data.
while ranking i have to consider these 2 levels along with Team.

The hierarchy is Project-----Department-------Team.The Actual columns are like .......

Consider

Work Item

Project

Department

Team

Iteration

IterationCycle

Sprint

Sprint.startDate

Sprint.Enddat

Hi @ArundhatiD ,

Please update the formula of the measure [Rank] as below and check if that is what you want. You can find the details in the attachment.

Rank = 
VAR _selprj =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Project] )
VAR _seldept =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Department] )
VAR _selteam =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Team] )
RETURN
    RANKX (
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[Project] = _selprj
                && 'Table'[Department] = _seldept
                && 'Table'[Team] = _selteam
        ),
        CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Sprint.startDate] ) ),
        ,
        DESC,
        DENSE
    )

Best Regards
