Dear All,
I am facing an issue. I need to rank my groups by categorizing them on who used the device first. For example, if group 1 used the device on 5:00 PM on given day and if group B used the device at 5:30 on the same day, then group 1 should be ranked 1 and group 2 should be ranked 2.
Here is the sample data. Help would be highly appreciated.
Thank You,
Kumar Ashwarya

Hi @Kumar11109,
Try this:
Create a calculated table
EarliestAccess =
//creates a calculated table that summarizes device the original table by DeviceID and Group ID then adds a new column that returns the earliest access date of a group per device
ADDCOLUMNS (
SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[DeviceId], 'Table'[GroupId] ),
"Earliest Access", CALCULATE (
MIN ( 'Table'[StartDateTime] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[GroupId], 'Table'[DeviceId] )
)
)Then in that calculated table, create a calculated column for rank.
RANK =
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( 'EarliestAccess' ),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'EarliestAccess', 'EarliestAccess'[DeviceId] ),
'EarliestAccess'[Earliest Access]
<= EARLIER ( 'EarliestAccess'[Earliest Access] )
)
hope this helps !
I don't think so it's working. I want the ranking for groups, by time, when they accessed the same device.
