    Hi Anonymous,

     

    1. Create a table like below. Do not establish relationship with other tables.

    Rule                                                                                                                                 ID

    top 1 - 10 1
    top 10 - 20 2
    top 20 - 30 3

     

    2. Create a measure like below.

    rankColorName =
VAR rankShouldBe =
    RANKX (
        ALL ( DimProduct[ProductName] ),
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( FactSales[SalesQuantity] ) )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        HASONEFILTER ( ruleTable[Rule] ),
        IF (
            MIN ( ruleTable[ID] ) = 1
                && rankShouldBe <= 10,
            rankShouldBe,
            IF (
                MIN ( ruleTable[ID] ) = 2
                    && rankShouldBe > 10
                    && rankShouldBe <= 20,
                rankShouldBe,
                IF (
                    MIN ( ruleTable[ID] ) = 3
                        && rankShouldBe > 20
                        && rankShouldBe <= 30,
                    rankShouldBe,
                    BLANK ()
                )
            )
        ),
        rankShouldBe
    )

    3. Create a table visual and a slicer like below.

Hi Anonymous,

 

1. Create a table like below. Do not establish relationship with other tables.

Rule                                                                                                                                 ID

top 1 - 10 1
top 10 - 20 2
top 20 - 30 3

 

2. Create a measure like below.

rankColorName =
VAR rankShouldBe =
    RANKX (
        ALL ( DimProduct[ProductName] ),
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( FactSales[SalesQuantity] ) )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        HASONEFILTER ( ruleTable[Rule] ),
        IF (
            MIN ( ruleTable[ID] ) = 1
                && rankShouldBe <= 10,
            rankShouldBe,
            IF (
                MIN ( ruleTable[ID] ) = 2
                    && rankShouldBe > 10
                    && rankShouldBe <= 20,
                rankShouldBe,
                IF (
                    MIN ( ruleTable[ID] ) = 3
                        && rankShouldBe > 20
                        && rankShouldBe <= 30,
                    rankShouldBe,
                    BLANK ()
                )
            )
        ),
        rankShouldBe
    )

    Hi v-jiascu-msft,

     

    I'am facing an issue

    The moment I bring in a new column in the table, the filter does not fuction and it shows all products.

    What could be the reason?

      Hi Anonymous,

       

      Where is the column from? Maybe you can make some changes like below.

       

      rankColorName =
VAR rankShouldBe =
    RANKX (
        ALL ( DimProduct[ProductName] ),
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( FactSales[SalesQuantity] ), ALLEXCEPT(DimProduct, DimProduct[Product Name] ) )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        HASONEFILTER ( ruleTable[Rule] ),
        IF (
            MIN ( ruleTable[ID] ) = 1
                && rankShouldBe <= 10,
            rankShouldBe,
            IF (
                MIN ( ruleTable[ID] ) = 2
                    && rankShouldBe > 10
                    && rankShouldBe <= 20,
                rankShouldBe,
                IF (
                    MIN ( ruleTable[ID] ) = 3
                        && rankShouldBe > 20
                        && rankShouldBe <= 30,
                    rankShouldBe,
                    BLANK ()
                )
            )
        ),
        rankShouldBe
    )

       

      Best Regards,

        Hi v-jiascu-msft

         

        The ALLExcept function did not work for me.

        The columns: Product name and Sales quantity are coming from the same table. And the column that I'am trying to get in the table is from another table. But the problem seems to occur even if I bring the any other column from the same table.

        What could be the possible reason, any idea?

    I have a similar situation. i tried this method. It does work. However, i cant get it to closure since i dont want to show the  "rankcolorName" in the view. 

     

    How can i achieve it?
