Can I add a ranked slicer based on a Category?
I have a Table and a Bar Chart.
1. In this Table the first Column are Categorys,
2. the Second is Count of Numbers
3. the third is a measure from Count of Numbers to Use is in the Ranking:
At the end I would like to be able to select the individual categories in the slicer. Something like a TopN slicer.
But I have Problems with it since there a lot of strings in the values.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @PHO ,
I created a sample pbix file(see the attachment), please check if that is what you want.
1. Create the measures as below(it seems what you are trying to create is a calculated column to get the rank)
DocumentCount = CALCULATE(COUNT('Data'[NUMBER]),ALLEXCEPT('Data','Data'[Category]))Rank = RANKX(ALLSELECTED(Data ), [DocumentCount],,DESC,Dense)
2. Create a table visual
If the above one can't help you get the solution, please provide the required info just as suggested by Ibendlin. Thank you.
