Hello,
I am trying to create a metric that distributes people according to 20% ranges based on the accumulated sales ordered in descending order. I mean,, a person is categorized as "Category 1" when their sales added to the sales greater than themselves are less than 20% of the total sales.
Example:
I have tried RANKX but the calculation never finishes and gives a resource error.
Thank you

Hi @chsardas1 ,
Thanks for the reply from @parry2k , please allow me to provide another insight:
If you are trying to sort by a range of 20% based on %Cumulative, then you can use the switch function. More information about the switch function can be found in the documentation:SWITCH function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn.
Measure =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
MAX([%Cumulative]) <= 0.2, 1,
MAX([%Cumulative]) <= 0.4, 2,
MAX([%Cumulative]) <= 0.6, 3,
MAX([%Cumulative]) <= 0.8, 4,
5
)
If your Current Period does not refer to this, please clarify in a follow-up reply.
Best Regards,
Clara Gong

@chsardas1 RANKX is the way to go. Check these blog posts How to use RANKX in DAX (Part 1 of 3 - Calculated Columns) - RADACAD
