Conditional Ranking as Calculated Column or Power Query

I'm trying to add a ranking to a table. In this simple example, I want to rank the cost of each Fruit. This ranking will then be used to pull in a value from another table, so I want to do this either in Power Query or as a Calculated Column. (In Excel, I'd use =SUMPRODUCT((C:C<=C4)*(A:A=A4)) )

 

Thanks - Mike

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
