Return a constructed column to MAX()

Hi

 

I'm looking to create a ranking as a measure.

 

It looks like the following:

 

RANKX(ALL(Corporate),CALCULATE(SUM(Corporate[Amount])),,ASC,Dense)
 
I'd like, in the measure, to divide the ranking with the highest rank, so basically;
 
DIVIDE (
    RANKX ( ALL ( Corporate ), CALCULATE ( SUM ( Corporate[Amount] ) ) , ASC, DENSE ),
    MAX (    RANKX ( ALL ( Corporate ), CALCULATE ( SUM ( Corporate[Amount] ) ) , ASC, DENSE ))
)
 
Issue is, MAX() expect a column and I'm returning a value. The goal is to create a percentile ranking, so I can see the if the corporate is in the e.g. top 1%. I need this to be a measure, as it has to be recalculated based on different context.

what if try to use ALL()?

DIVIDE (
    RANKX ( ALL ( Corporate ), CALCULATE ( SUM ( Corporate[Amount] ) ),  , ASC, DENSE ),
    MAXX (ALL ( Corporate ),     RANKX ( ALL ( Corporate ), CALCULATE ( SUM ( Corporate[Amount] ) ),  , ASC, DENSE ))
)

Unfortunately that does not seem to work:

The Rank column is the desired outcome.
