RankX Desc w/ filter works but ASC does not.

I have a table visual, with 2 ranking columns.  The ranking looks correct in the table for both ascending and descendingm there are no gaps.  When I add a filter of QJS_Rank_RegEXP (RankX Desc) < 10 it works but when I use TA (RankX ASC) measure witt the same visual filter the table has no resultnig rows.

Showing the table with the filter on QJS_TA applied.  Also if I change the QJS_TA filter to greater than 10,  get all the rows

My measures are:

 

QJS_Rev =

Extract'[DtlVal (Flipped Sign)]))

 if(max('_Cost Type'[Type])="Gross",

    CALCULATE ( SUM (  GrossGL[GrsVal]),

   

        'Fin Hierarchy'[SysFinClsName_Level1] = "Revenue")

     

       , // ELSE

       

       CALCULATE (

    SUM (  'GL Extract'[DtlVal (Flipped Sign)] ),

   

        'Fin Hierarchy'[SysFinClsName_Level1] = "Revenue")      

    )

 

 

QJS_Exp =

 

 if(max('_Cost Type'[Type])="Gross",

     ABS(CALCULATE ( SUM (  GrossGL[GrsVal]),

   

        'Fin Hierarchy'[SysFinClsName_Level1] = "Expenses") ) //)

     

        , // ELSE

         

     abs(CALCULATE ( SUM (  'GL Extract'[DtlVal (Flipped Sign)] ) ,

         

        'Fin Hierarchy'[SysFinClsName_Level1] = "Expenses"

      )) //)

      )

 

QJS_RevExp =

var _exp = [QJS_Exp]

var _Rev = [QJS_Rev]

return if (_Exp > 0, _Rev / _Exp, Blank() )

 

 

QJS_TA =

    if (  ISINSCOPE ('Prop Hierarchy - Wellsite'[L5Name] ),

             RANKX(AllSelected('Prop Hierarchy - Wellsite'[L5Name] ), [QJS_RevExp],,ASC)

    )

 

 

 

QJS_Rank_RevExp =

    if (  ISINSCOPE ('Prop Hierarchy - Wellsite'[L5Name] ),

             RANKX(AllSelected('Prop Hierarchy - Wellsite'[L5Name] ), [QJS_RevExp],,DESC)

    )

 

 

 

Thanks in advance!!

I tried making a sample, but it worked perfectly, so I then reduced the dashboard, to only the one table.  Didn't help, but got rid of the potential.  

 

I have an ascending rank, and 2 filters on the visual that say Exp > 0.01 and Rev > 0.01.  The visual shows the ranking starting at 1 and going to like 3000+.  Once I set Rank < 11 the grid shows nothing.  If I make it < 20 it shows 3 records and <50 I get 34 records.  Its almost like it applies the Rank filter first and then the 2 other filters and then re-runs the rank for the visual. That seems crazy but is that how PBI behaves?

 

If I then remove the > 0.01 from Rev I get a set of rows that match the rank limit.

 

If this is true, how do I get thhe visual to apply filters such that Rank is the last filter applied?

 

The reason I say re-applies the rank is because it starts at 1, and for the case where the filter is < 20 it has 1,2,3 and 4.

Hi @quentinjs 

 

To provide better help, you can share the pbix file or provide some dummy data. It is best to present it in a tabular form. Take care to remove sensitive information.
