Hello together,
I'm struggling with creating rank for projects when project cell is empty.
| Project | order | value | OrderRank |
| Project 1 | 100 | $10.000 | 1 |
| 101 | $250.000 | 5 | |
| Project 2 | 102 | $15.000 | 3 |
| Project 1 | 103 | $12.000 | 2 |
| Project 2 | 104 | $80.000 | 4 |
As you can see for order number 101 there is no Project reference.
Rank for order I created using:
OrderRank:=RANKX(ALL(fOrders[order]);[Selected TopN Value];;0)
This works great.
Adapting this to Project level PrjRank:=RANKX(ALL(fOrders[Project]);[Selected TopN Value];;0)
What I would like to have:
| Project | value | Project Rank |
| Project 1 | $22.000 | 1 |
| Project 2 | $95.000 | 2 |
What I unfortunately get:
| Project | value | Project Rank |
| $250.000 | 1 | |
| Project 1 | $22.000 | 2 |
| Project 2 | $95.000 | 3 |
I have tried wrapping the all with a filter as well as wrapping the expresseion [Selected TopN Value] in a Calculate with filter but non of this worked.
I've also checked:

I haven't found a solution yet.
Maybe there is a BI hero out there able to help me.
Best regards.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try this MEASURE
ProjectLevelRank =
IF (
NOT ( SELECTEDVALUE ( fOrders[Project] ) = BLANK () ),
RANKX (
FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( fOrders[Project] ), fOrders[Project] <> BLANK () ),
CALCULATE ( SUM ( fOrders[value] ) ),
,
ASC,
DENSE
)
)
Try this MEASURE
ProjectLevelRank =
IF (
NOT ( SELECTEDVALUE ( fOrders[Project] ) = BLANK () ),
RANKX (
FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( fOrders[Project] ), fOrders[Project] <> BLANK () ),
CALCULATE ( SUM ( fOrders[value] ) ),
,
ASC,
DENSE
)
)
Hello @Zubair_Muhammad,
Amazing! It works, I would never have figured this out by myself.
unfortunately SELECTEDVALUE isn't available to me, so I had to rephrase it with IF(HASONEVALUE(<column>);Values(<column))
Maybe I will find the time to understand this formula entirely.
Best regards.
