Ranking calculation

Hi,   Here's what I'm working on: I have a hierarchy made up of Sub-Category and Resource, and both of them come from the same table. I’ve already calculated the rank based on cost for each level...

    I fixed the calculation:

     

    Here is the Code:

     

    Ranking 2 =
    var Table1 =
    SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
        'Table'[Resouce],
        'Table'[SubCategory],
        "@Ranking",
        CALCULATE(
            RANKX(
                ALLSELECTED('Table'[Resource]),
                [Total Cost],,DESC
            ),
            allselected('Table'[SubCategory])
        )
    )

    return
    minx(
        Table1,
        [@Ranking]
    )

Hi SeGr ,

 

Here’s a dynamic approach you can use with DAX:

Resource Rank in SubCategory = 
VAR RankingTable =
    SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
        Table[Resource],
        Table[SubCategory],
        "@Ranking", RANKX(
            ALLSELECTED(Table[Resource]),
            [Total Cost], , DESC
        )
    )
RETURN
    MINX(
        FILTER(
            RankingTable,
            RankingTable[SubCategory] = SELECTEDVALUE(Table[SubCategory])
        ),
        [@Ranking]
    )


This measure creates a virtual table of every Resource/Sub-Category combination and calculates the rank for each resource based on [Total Cost]. Then, it returns the rank for the relevant Sub-Category in your visual, even when Resource isn’t included.  If you want to show the top or average resource rank within each Sub-Category, you can swap out MINX for MAXX or AVERAGEX as needed. Make sure your [Total Cost] measure works at the correct granularity and your relationships are set up properly. If you have ties, MINX just gives the smallest rank (i.e., top performer).

Hi Rohit,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

The code doesn't work.

 

1. The FILTER on ALL (Resouce) with the reference on Sub-Category. I can only filter by Resource column, as it is the only column from that virtual table

 

I changed the FILTER to ALL(Table) instead of ALL(Table[Resouce]) to make the code work and it returns a 1 on all rows.

 

Below there's a calculated table that works and produces the right result. Even by covering the calc table in an interator (minx, averagex etc) still doesn't work and returns 1 on all rows.. 

 

I know that not having the right granularity inside the table/matrix makes this very tricky....if you have any other ideas, they would be greatly appreciated!
