Hi, I am trying to plot a graph of an individual's rank vs time based on their cumulative points score. So for instance on day 1 someone is ranked 3rd with 100 points and then by day 3 they are 2nd w...

    Hi Anonymous 

    You may check the Page2 in attached file.Add a calendar table to get the cumulative total.Add 0 to the blank cumulative total.Then rank it.

    cumulative_points = 
IF (
    MAX ( 'Calendar'[Dates] ) <= MAXX ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Date] ),
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Points] ) + 0,
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Calendar'[Dates] ),
            'Calendar'[Dates] <= MAX ( 'Calendar'[Dates] )
        )
    )
)

    Rank = 
IF (
    MAX ( 'Calendar'[Dates] ) <= MAXX ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Date] ),
    RANKX ( ALL ( 'Table'[person] ), [cumulative_points],, DESC )
)

Thanks so much for your time Cherie, however, when I plot a line graph with date on the x axis and the Rank on the y axis, it appears as a flat line at 1. Any thoughts?

thanks again

Ian

Hi IHam 

 

If you need put rank on the y axis,you may create calculated columns like below:

cumulative_points = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Table1[Points] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL (Table1 ),
        Table1[Person] =EARLIER(  Table1[Person] )
            && Table1[Date] <= EARLIER( ( Table1[Date] )
    )
))
Rank = 
RANKX (
    FILTER ( ALL ( Table1 ), Table1[Date] = EARLIER( Table1[Date] ) ),
    [cumulative_points],
    ,
    DESC
)

Regards,

Cherie

    I can get the cumulative total for an individual but the rankinng is still appearing as a 1 irrespective of the time or the person slicer. Any ideas? And many thanks for your time with this.

      Hi IHam 

       

      You may change the ALL function in the formula to ALLSELECTED funtion.If it is not your case,please share the sample file.You can upload the .pbix file to OneDrive and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.

        Thanks for you ongoing help. All selected didn't seem to work - its probably a mistake at my end. Here is the link - i created the file to test the dynamic ranking over time so its not private.
