Rankx producing incorrect order

Hello,

 

I am trying below calculated column in my dataset to return a rank to limit my bar chart 

 

Custom Col Cancellation Ranks =
Var RankByCancellation=
RANKX(
All(MyPT_Cancellations),
CALCULATE(
COUNT(MyPT_Cancellations[No. of Clients]),
ALLEXCEPT(MyPT_Cancellations,MyPT_Cancellations[Cancellation reason])
),
,
DESC,
Dense
)
Return
IF(RankByCancellation<=9,RankByCancellation,10)

Now, this works but I doubt it does sorting counts by descending order

Can somebody please advise me urgently?

For the first question, replace the allexcept to following:

 

Custom Col Cancellation Ranks =
Var RankByCancellation=
RANKX(
All(MyPT_Cancellations[Cancellation reason]), // or use allselected in place of all
CALCULATE(
COUNT(MyPT_Cancellations[No. of Clients]),
Filter(Allselected(MyPT_Cancellations), MyPT_Cancellations[Cancellation reason]=MAX( MyPT_Cancellations[Cancellation reason])
),
,
DESC,
Dense
)
Return
IF(RankByCancellation<=9,RankByCancellation,10)

 


For more, please share a sample table or pbix(Not image),  that would make your current situation clear for us.

@Anonymous , are you viewing it for Cancellation reason?

 

Then try like

Custom Col Cancellation Ranks =
Var RankByCancellation=
RANKX(
All(MyPT_Cancellations[Cancellation reason]), // or use allselected in place of all
CALCULATE(
COUNT(MyPT_Cancellations[No. of Clients]),
ALLEXCEPT(MyPT_Cancellations,MyPT_Cancellations[Cancellation reason])
),
,
DESC,
Dense
)
Return
IF(RankByCancellation<=9,RankByCancellation,10)

 

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

@amitchandak 

Please guide how can remove dense rank and give separate rank if the value is same for the cancellation reason, I am doing top 19 + 20 (Other)

So, in this case rather than having 12 rank for more than 1 record I want serial rank no matter if the values are same.

 

I tried removing dense but the result show 1 and then 20 for all
