Hi,

 

Please try this column in table B:

No. = RANKX('Table B','Table B'[Unit],,DESC,Dense)

The result shows:

@Busno , not very clear you need running total or sort. For sort you can do it on that column

 

for running total you can use Quick measure and create one

@Busno first create a rank column based on the highest number and then do the cumulative total on it
