RankX for multiple columns with percentage and numbers

[DivyaReddy]

Dear PBI enthusiasts!

I have a requirement where I need to show the Top N of a column '%Profit' and if there is a tie then I need to use the column 'Total Sales'. I am using RankX for my first column but not getting the second column to be used when there is a tie. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance!

Hi @DivyaReddy ,

try this calculated column:

RANK =

VAR _Rank =RANKX('Facts14',[%Profit])

RETURN

COUNTX(

       FILTER(

              'Facts14',

               'Facts14'[%Profit] = EARLIER('Facts14'[%Profit]) && 'Facts14'[Total Sales] > EARLIER('Facts14'[Total Sales])

             ),

       [Total Sales]

) + _Rank

Did I answer your question? Mark this post as a solution if I did!

This seems to have worked in theory but not sure why I get "Parameter not correct type" for "EARLIER('Facts14'[%Profit])" and EARLIER('Facts14'[Total Sales]) when I substituted my actual column and table names  They They are measures (not columns) in my actual data not sure if that matters?

Hi @DivyaReddy ,

try this measure

Rank =

VAR Rank1 =

RANKX(ALL(Facts),

     [% Profit]

)

VAR Rank2 =

    VAR CurrentProfit = [% Profit]

    RETURN

    RANKX(

     CALCULATETABLE(

                   FILTER(

                         ADDCOLUMNS(

                                   Facts,

                                 "@Total Sales",[Total Sales],

                                 "@%Profit",[% Profit]

                                  ),

                        [% Profit] = CurrentProfit

                         ),

              ALL('Facts')),

[Total Sales]

)

RETURN

Rank1*Rank2
