RankX at Category level for Category/SubCategory context

[brentmav]

Hi - looking for some help with a RankX DAX calculation.  For illustrative purposes, I'm using a simple table with Category, SubCategory, and Value.  I'd like to create a measure that ranks by Category for total value across all SubCategory.  

Currently, the measure is:

CategoryRank = RANKX(ALL('Table'[Category]), CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value])))

This works when SubCategory is excluded. However, when I include SubCategory, it evaluates across the unique combinations.

What I'd like to return is a table like:

CategoryRank Category SubCategory Value
4 D D1 9,936

1 A A4 9,507

2 B B1 9,446

etc

Hi @brentmav ,

According to your description, my understanding is that you want to rank your data by category and subcategory in a measure. If anything is misunderstood, please tell me.

Would you please create a measure to determine whether it is a Category or SubCategory?

ISCategory = COUNTROWS('Table') = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table'),ALL('Table'), VALUES('Table'[Category]))

Then create a measure for ranking:

CategoryRank = IF( [ISCategory], RANKX( ALLSELECTED('Table'[Category]),CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]))), RANKX(ALLSELECTED('Table'[SubCategory]),CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]))))

For more details, please refer to https://qiuyunus-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/pbipro_qiuyunus_onmicrosoft_com/Ee2raMYlhUJEk0MhAd...

A measure like this should work

CategoryRank = RANKX(ALL('Table'[Category]), CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Category])))

Thank you very much! Definitely wasted too much time trying to figure this one out!
