Ranking vs Date

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 )
)

I didn´t see the whole problem that you are talking, but looking your table, you only have one register by date, meaning that only one person scores by day, so If you do a Line Graph you will never have two points on the same column, and you have another problem, you have in all of you registers the Rank equals to 1, so if you see a Linear Graph you will only see a Row. If you want to now the registers by person, You have to create a DAX that counts the registers grouping by person. I swear this can help you a bit.:smileywink:

The real table I am dealing with has some days when people register points and some day when they don't. Would creating a date table and then creating a rank score for each person per day (irrespective if they had accumulated any points on that day) be a way forward? Each person has a different rank (by cumulative total) on each day whether their cumulative totals have changed or not and this is what i would like to plot on the y-axis.

    I dont understand you at all. Basically you need to remove all the registers in your table when a numeric field is equals to 0, do you?

     

    Because I think I can help with that.

    Not really. Imagine a football league table. Teams accumulate points at different times throughout the year. I need to plot the rank of a team (its league position) by time as it progresses through a season.
