I have been looking and not found an answer that suits my needs. I have a request to create multiple visuals for Employees ranked by a score company wide, with in groups, and month over month individually.
The date would look like this
ID | Score | Date | Group
---------------------------
1 | 95 | 9/1/21 | A
2 | 94 | 9/1/21 | A
3 | 85 | 9/1/21 | B
4 | 90 | 9/1/21 | B
1 | 90 | 8/1/21 | A
2 | 80 | 8/1/21 | A
3 | 90 | 8/1/21 | B
4 | 70 | 8/1/21 | B
.
.
.
Expected Results would be a 2 tables and a line chart
Table 1 Expected Results
For Max Date
ID | Score | Date | Group | Rank
--------------------------------------
1 | 95 | 9/1/21 | A | 1
2 | 94 | 9/1/21 | A | 2
3 | 85 | 9/1/21 | B | 4
4 | 90 | 9/1/21 | B | 3
Table 2 Expected Results
ID | Score | Date | Group | Rank
-------------------------------------
1 | 95 | 9/1/21 | A | 1
2 | 94 | 9/1/21 | A | 2
3 | 85 | 9/1/21 | B | 2
4 | 90 | 9/1/21 | B | 1
1 | 90 | 8/1/21 | A | 1
2 | 80 | 8/1/21 | A | 2
3 | 90 | 8/1/21 | B | 1
4 | 70 | 8/1/21 | B | 2
Line Chart showing for ID 1 Month 8/1/21 Value 90 then Month 9/1/21 Value 95 and so on.
I have been tryin to get RANKX to work to no avail. I have tried doing RANKX(Table1,Table1[Score],,DENSE) and RANKX(Table1,CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Score])),,DENSE) but I don't need to sum my scores at a group or individual level because I want to look at them month over month and at a company level it should only be the most recent month used for the ranking.
Thanks for any help or guidance on this.
Solved! Go to Solution.
RANKX can be hard. I almost never get it right the first time.
You can get the rank within a month by writing
RANKX ( ALLEXCEPT ( Table1, Table1[Date] ), CALCULATE ( MAX ( Table1[Score] ) ) )and the rank within the group and month like this:
RANKX (
ALLEXCEPT ( Table1, Table1[Group], Table1[Date] ),
CALCULATE ( MAX ( Table1[Score] ) )
)
For Table 1, we can add a check to see if the current date matches the maximal date to return a blank for all prior months.
