    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,

 

You may drag Customer Name to the row labels and then in the Visual level filters, uncheck the blank in the Customer Name field.  Write these measures

 

Total Sales = SUM(Data[Sales])

Rank of selected Customers = RANKX(ALLSELECTED(Data[Customer Name]),[Total sales])
 
Hope this helps.

    Ashish_Mathur,

     

    Thanks for your help. It works on my mock data, but not working on my real data set which has 1.3M lines. Not sure why. I will spend some time tomorrow trying to trouble shoot. I just want to thank you first.
