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,
