Anonymous , It Seems like you are creating a subcategory rank. Now rank will change based on context. So I rank a measure on product . If I use the product then it will show correct rank. But If Add Category, then it will show product rank inside the category.
But If add say Product ID then I will see all 1. In such case In need use All(product,prodcut_id) to make sure they work together

Your formulas are calculated columns,right?
If so ,modify them as below:
Product Rank (Name) = RANKX(FILTER(ALLSELECTED('(Dim) Product'),'(Dim) Product'[Product_Name] = EARLIER('(Dim) Product'[Product_Name])),[Master],,DESC,Dense)Product Rank (Category) = RANKX(FILTER(ALLSELECTED('(Dim) Product'),'(Dim) Product'[Category] =EARLIER('(Dim) Product'[Category] )),[Master],,DESC,Dense)Best Regards,

KellyDid I answer your question? Mark my position as a solution!Hello.
I found the solution.
No these are measures, for dynamic ranking.
The problem was, that unless I put in the 2nd field as the most granular part of the product (from the table being referenced) the ranking wouldnt work.
which is why category / product wouldn't work, (product wasnt the most granular field).
I had to duplicate the product table and make sure that product name was the most granular field and then reference that table instead.
I would have preffered to use a VAR table, but I couldnt find a way to RankX from it.
