Silly ranking question

[CarlsBerg999]

Hi,

I basically i have two columns:

Linkedin 500

Facebook 400 

Twitter 350

Others 370

I want these values to be ranked so that anything that is not "Others" is ranked and presented in a descending order, but Others is presented as last. For example, if i rank the above alphabetically or by value, "Others" would be presented in the middle. This is wrong, it needs to be last. How do i rank everything except "Others"?

Thank you!

@CarlsBerg999,

Try the following measures:

Total Amount = SUM ( RankTest[Amount] )

Company Rank = 
VAR vAllValues =
    ALL ( RankTest[Company] )
VAR vValuesToRank =
    FILTER ( vAllValues, RankTest[Company] <> "Others" )
VAR vRowCount =
    COUNTROWS ( vValuesToRank )
VAR vResult =
    RANKX ( vValuesToRank, [Total Amount],, DESC, DENSE )
RETURN
    IF ( MAX ( RankTest[Company] ) = "Others", vRowCount + 1, vResult )

I'm getting the same Rank (1) for all of these. I think the formula is making SUM for entire "Amount" column which is the same for all values. Am i doing something wrong? In the example, the Total Amount = SUM(RankTest[Amount])=1620 for all values. Therefore the rank is the same for all.

@CarlsBerg999,

Please confirm that you created measures, not calculated columns.
