Hi Anonymous ,
If you don't want to use Rank(), you can try this:
1. Sort the Paid Amount column by DESC in power query editor
2. Create an index column start from 1:
3. Close and apply power query editor, put this index column into the table to get the number 1-50 which is sorted by Paid Amount column

Hi Anonymous ,
Now let's arrange it together. Since your data source is a tabular model so that you cannot create a calculate column using Rankx(). Also, you don't want to modify your model. Right?
If so, whether I can create a measure intersperseding rankx() in it like this with the tabular model in power bi desktop to meet your requirement:
Measure = VAR tab = SUMMARIZE ( Sheet1, Sheet1[Provider Legacy Number], Sheet1[Paid Amount], "Rank", RANKX ( ALL ( Sheet1 ), Sheet1[Paid Amount] ) ) RETURN SUMX ( tab, [Rank] )Best Regards,
