Rownumber in virtual table

Hi All,

I have created a virtual table using the below DAX function. I want to create a rownumber column based on the 

partition by YEAR, REGION, PRODUCT and Order by SALES (Could be strange for you) within the virtual table.

 

SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
'Data'[YEAR],
'Data'[REGION],
'Data'[PRODUCT],
'Data'[SALES],
'Data'[PERIOD]
)

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi, @vinothkumar1990 
Based on your information, I create a table:

You can create a new measure and try the following DAX:

Vitrue Rank = 
VAR VirtualTable = 
SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED(Data),
    'Data'[YEAR],
    'Data'[REGION],
    'Data'[PRODUCT],
    'Data'[SALES],
    'Data'[PERIOD]
)

VAR ResultTable = 
ADDCOLUMNS(
    VirtualTable,
    "RowNumber", 
    RANKX(
        VirtualTable, 
        'Data'[SALES], 
        , 
        DESC, 
        Dense
    )
)

RETURN
MAXX(FILTER(ResultTable,SUM(Data[SALES])=[SALES]),[RowNumber])

Here is my preview:

Hi, @vinothkumar1990 

Yes, you can use Rownumber function, here is the DAX expression:

Vitrue Rownumber = 
VAR VirtualTable = 
SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED(Data),
    'Data'[YEAR],
    'Data'[REGION],
    'Data'[PRODUCT],
    'Data'[SALES],
    'Data'[PERIOD]
)

VAR ResultTable = 
ADDCOLUMNS(
    VirtualTable,
    "RowNumber", 
    ROWNUMBER(
        ORDERBY([SALES], 
        DESC)
    )
)

RETURN
MAXX(FILTER(ResultTable,SUM(Data[SALES])=[SALES]),[RowNumber])
