Sorting single value column 'descending' by latest week ending date

 

Problem: Table needs to be sorted 'descending' for column "3/30/21".  Value is a Dax Measure and latest date changes each week.

Can't seem to find how to do this in visual or through PQ

Hi @kiddknee ,

 

Please try the following formula:

Rank =
IF (
    MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ) = MAXX ( ALL ( 'Table' ), [Date] ),
    RANKX (
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Date] = MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ) ),
        CALCULATE ( [Your Measure] ),
        ,
        ASC,
        DENSE
    ),
    0
)
Sort =
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[Date] ) = FALSE (),
    MAXX (
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Agent Name] = MAX ( 'Table'[Agent Name] ) ),
        [Rank]
    )
)

The final output is shown below:

Hey @kiddknee ,

 

you can choose in the settings of the visual if you want to sort by a specific column and if you want to sort ascending or descending:
