I have a table below where i have 2 projects and 5 tasks. I want to rank each task inside a project based on start date. Earliest would be number 1 etc. How do i rank the tasks in a project context based on the dates?
Thanks for the help!
| Project | Task | Start date | Rank |
| 1 | 1 | 1.1.2021 | 1 |
| 1 | 2 | 1.3.2021 | 3 |
| 1 | 3 | 1.2.2021 | 2 |
| 2 | 1 | 15.3.2021 | 2 |
| 2 | 2 | 10.3.2021 | 1 |

Hi, @CarlsBerg999
Please try the below calculated measure.
Ranking =
VAR currentproject =
MAX ( 'Table'[Project] )
RETURN
RANKX (
FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Project] = currentproject ),
CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Start date] ) ),
,
ASC
)

@CarlsBerg999 , Create a new column like
rankx(filter(Table, [Project] = earlier([project])),[Start Date],,asc,dense)
