    hi ChrisWilliams

     

    Rank Top Senders =
RANKX (
    FILTER ( ALL ( UserMessages ); UserMessages[Direction] = "Outbound" );
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( UserMessages[Messages] );
        ALLEXCEPT ( UserMessages; UserMessages[User] )
    );
    ;
    DESC;
    DENSE
)

Hi Chris,

 

I have been searching for help on my challenge and run into this post. I tried to modify your solution to my situation but it is not working somehow. My situation is a little bit different.

 

A simplified table is below. What I want is to rank the Customer Name by Sales BUT EXCLUDING all the Customers with Blank names (let's call them anyomymous customers). 

 

The formula I came up after modelling yours is:

Rank Customer By Sales= RANKX(
filter(all(Table[Customer Name]),NOT(ISBLANK(Table[Customer Name]))),
CALCULATE(sum(Sales), ALLEXCEPT(Customer Name])),,DESC,Dense)
 
But it is still including the Anonymous customers. 

 

Thanks for help.

Hi, a simple way is using a measure to Rank (Basic) and a Visual Level Filter to exclude Blanks.

 

If you have problems with the filter you can create a new measure

 

MeasuretoexcludeAnonymus=Len(Table1[ClientName])

 

and use it in the visual level filter to exclude the 0.

 

Regards
