Ranks by Category

Dear All, I have a data as below and i would like to calculate the ranks based on RNO_Condition.

Data:-

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("Tc07CoUwEEDRrTymlpCZ/LC0faAWlhKCYEBBYooUunsTVLC9p7jjCCiMNC74HSoQSJwpAlu9vU9L7sgFVwzFB4a4hmkrVhtG6haJWrluT792itHPRUkzTR9twrH6dGYiw58uEd0/lX++SLD2Ag==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [RNO_Condition = _t, Amt = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"RNO_Condition", type text}, {"Amt", type number}})
in
    #"Changed Type"

 

 

I have written below dax and based on that i am getting the below shown output

But i am expecting the ranking as below image.

Thanks,

Mohan V.

Hi, @Anonymous , as you want to rank the entries within a sub-group, I'd suggest adding a column, whether in PQ or by calculated column, to distinguish different sub-group.

 

#"Extract Prefix" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Category", each Text.Start([RNO_Condition], 5))

 

or using calculated column Screenshot 2020-10-14 201905.png

The measure is

 

Ranks = 
VAR __cat = MAX ( 'Dataset'[Category] )
RETURN
    RANKX (
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Dataset' ), 'Dataset'[Category] = __cat ),
        CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Dataset'[Amt] ) )
    )

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!

Is your calculation creating groups first on the basis of the Prefix Number in RNO_Condition and then ranking on basis of Amt?

@Anonymous Check this.

Let me know if you still needs help. I will write the DAX Expression for you.
