Ranking error (sort column)

Hello,

I must put the number of typologies per group, and then do the top 5 typologies. With some research I ended up finding the RANKX function which thanks to a filter <= 5 allows me to display the 5 largest values.

 

I was then asked to put 2 specific typologies at the end of the table, so I created an INDEX column which allowed me to set a value to 1 by default and 1000, 1001 on the one to be at the end.

Once the INDEX value is set I configure the sort:

Then here is my measurement which allows me to have the RANK:

TYPO RANG = RANKX( ALL(TYPOLOGIES[TYPO]), MESURES[TYPO COUNT], , DESC)
 
And the table that appears, the ranks are correct except for the typos (CAR and INC) which are the one to rank at the end with an index at 1000 & 1001

Do you have a solution for me so that the RANK does not put them in 1st position ?
 
Thank you in advance !

Hello,

Thank you for your help, I think it does not work for me because I go through a measure to count the number of typologies.

 

I found a solution on this site : https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/use-of-rankx-in-power-bi-measures/

 

Here is what I did in the method RANKX : TYPO RANG = RANKX( ALL(TYPOLOGIES[Index], TYPOLOGIES[TYPO]), MESURES[TYPO COUNT], , DESC)

 

Have a good day 🙂

Hi @alefebvre ,

Could not reproduce it in my side. How did you create the index column and the [TYPO COUNT] measure?

Could you please consdier sharing more details about it or a simple sample file without any sesentive information for further discussion?

 

Attached my test sample file in the below, you can also change it based on the sample file.
