Running total with ranking
Hi,
I'm trying to do a Running Total based on a rank of a measure.
After a little of research i've found the way to do the running total but i'm having a trouble with that.
I create a rank measure:
Ranking City = RANKX(ALL(Sales[City]),[QTR Quantity],,DESC,Skip)
And a measure for the running total:
Running Total = CALCULATE ( [QTR Quantity], ( TOPN ( [Ranking City], ALL ( Sales[City] ), [QTR Quantity] ) ))
The problem is when a pair of cities have the same rank (a tie situation) the running total sum the value of both cities in the same row / point (when it's a chart).
Example:
I think the solution is try to change the ranking so when there's a tie it should put different ranking for each member.
Thanks!
Finnally i´ve got the solution.
I´ve changed the approach of the formula.
Used this guide (it´s in spanish)

Hi chsardas
Could you try this?
Running Total = CALCULATE ( [QTR Quantity], ( TOPN ( [Ranking City], ALL ( Sales[City] ), [QTR Quantity] + RANDBETWEEN ( 1, 100 ) / 1000 ) ) )Thanks for your reply!.
Now it only sum one of the members which are tied.
But the behavior i expect is cardenas shoud be 11.511 + 515 and COMALCALCO should be 12.026 + 515.

HI chsardas
Instead of Running_Total try doing this for Ranking City
The idea is to differentiate between 2 similar Ranks by decimal points. You can hide the decimals for RANKING
Ranking City = RANKX ( ALL ( Sales[City] ), [QTR Quantity],, DESC, SKIP ) + RANDBETWEEN ( 1, 100 ) / 1000
