Hi
I have table 1 is power BI. I wanna create a matrix like table 2 with below logic:
- Rank by PL & Route: Ranking the Amt by PL Cat & Route
- Rank by Item: Ranking the Amt by Item only
So, How to make a measure to do it?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@ngocnguyen , Try ranks like
ranxk(allselected(Table[Item]), calculate(sum(Table[Amount]), allexcept(Table, Table[Item])),,desc,dense)
ranxk(Summarize(allselected(Table),Table[PL cat],Table[item] ), calculate(sum(Table[Amount]), allexcept(Table, Table[PL cat], Table[item])),,desc,dense)

Hi @ngocnguyen ,
According to your description, here's my solution. Create calculated columns.
Rank by PL&Route =
RANKX (
'Table 1',
SUMX (
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table 1' ),
'Table 1'[PL Cat] = EARLIER ( 'Table 1'[PL Cat] )
&& 'Table 1'[Route] = EARLIER ( 'Table 1'[Route] )
),
'Table 1'[Amt]
),
,
DESC,
DENSE
)
For the second "Rank by Item", your requirement is Ranking the Amt by Item only, but the result in Table2 is not ranking by item. So I provide two formula here.
If you really want to rank by Item:
Rank by Item =
RANKX ( 'Table 1', 'Table 1'[Item],, ASC )
If you want to get the provided result:
Column =
RANKX (
FILTER (
'Table 1',
'Table 1'[Route] = EARLIER ( 'Table 1'[Route] )
&& 'Table 1'[PL Cat] = EARLIER ( 'Table 1'[PL Cat] )
),
'Table 1'[Amt]
)
Result:
I attach my sample below for your reference.
