    Thank you for your prompt reply Greg_Deckler 

    Hi renecornish     

     

    Based on your needs, I have created the following table.

     

    Then in power query, hold down the Ctrl key to select all columns, click "unpivot column".


    Click"close and apply", Then you can use the following Dax to get the rank of the column:

    Column = RANKX('Table','Table'[Value],,DESC)

     

    Result:



    Best Regards,

renecornish Probably have to do something along these lines:

Column = 
  VAR __Table = 
    UNION(
      { [Location 1] },
      { [Location 2] },
      { [Location 3] },
      { [Location 4] },
      { [Location 5] },
      { [Location 6] }
    )
...

Then you could use RANKX and then lookup the RANK for whatever value [Location 1] is for your Location 1 rank column, etc.
