Switch Axis: 10 turns into a 1

Hey Guys,

 

simple case. I have a ranking. The higher the number, the better. Suppose I 

Value 1 = 7 >> should turn into the number 1

Value 2 = 5 >> should turn into the number 3

 

Another issue is, the numbers can be decimals. The max is unknown, hence the 7 can be a 10 as well. The numbers must be used as a y axis in a line chart. 

 

I am not sure if this can be solved via measure, perhaps with a column?

Hi @raymond 

 

I’m not quite sure about the requirements, figure that you’d like to generate the rank, the higher of the value, the better ranking.

And then use the ranking as Y-axis, the values as the X-axis.

 

Thus I created the sample with columns [Values] and add the measure:

Rank = RANKX(ALL(Table1),CALCULATE(MAX(Table1[Values])))

Result shown as below:
