direct query - Rank measure

[natabird3]

Dear all,

I was wondering if anyone found a way around rank measures when using direct query? I have read a lot online and seems its not currently supported. There are suggestions like enabling restiricted formulas in option menu, but on my power bi i do not see such option. Anyone has a working solution on this?

Please let me know, thanks in advance for the help, stay safe.

This one worked for me thanks 🙂 

ToHellWithRankXDescMeasure2 =
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
SUMMARIZE(
ALL('Table'),
[Group],
"Value",SUM('Table'[Value])
),
[Value]>=SUM([Value])
)
)

The date was probably going to be my next questions so i will try now that thanks for the detailed info and taking the time to collect all this great info.

Sure thing, I kind of wrote that post as a joke, but it has actually turned out to be surprisingly handy! 🙂
