    FrankvanDorp,

     

    Try this solution.

     

    1. Create table SlicerPeriod (no relationships):

     

     

    2. Create measures:

     

    Change = SUM ( FactTable[Change] )
    Sort Order = 
    VAR vPeriodSelection =
        SELECTEDVALUE ( SlicerPeriod[Period] )
    VAR vCurrentCountry =
        SELECTEDVALUE ( FactTable[Country] )
    VAR vTableAmount =
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            ALLSELECTED ( FactTable[Country] ),
            "@Amount", CALCULATE ( [Change], FactTable[Period] = vPeriodSelection )
        )
    VAR vTableRank =
        ADDCOLUMNS ( vTableAmount, "@Rank", RANKX ( vTableAmount, [@Amount],, ASC ) )
    VAR vResult =
        MAXX ( FILTER ( vTableRank, FactTable[Country] = vCurrentCountry ), [@Rank] )
    RETURN
        vResult

     

    3. Create slicer using SlicerPeriod[Period].

     

    4. Create matrix and add the measure [Sort Order] as a Tooltip (sort Ascending):

     

     

    5. Add remaining fields to matrix. Legend uses FactTable[Period].

     

     

    6. Result:
