Hello!
I was hoping someone could help:
Is there a way to limit the number of ranks in the RANKX column? What I would like to do is have a dataset ranked 1 - 10. I think the only way for me to do this is to create a decile broken down into 10 sections, and then to link the section to a specific rank of 1. EG data between the values of 1-10 will be rank 1. I am struggling to find a function that a. allows me to chose the number of deciles to break the data down into or/and b. force rankx to only assign ranks between 1-10.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Many thanks!

Hi @Pippa_Jane
Assume your requirement is :
If you have a column with values from 1 ~100,
then assign values(1~10) to a new rank 1
values(11~20) to a new rank 2
If so,
Create columns
rank index = RANKX('Table (2)','Table (2)'[data],,ASC,Dense) % = [rank index]/ MAX('Table (2)'[rank index]) new rank = SWITCH(TRUE(),[%]<=0.1,1,[%]<=0.2,2,[%]<=0.3,3,[%]<=0.4,4,[%]<=0.5,5,[%]<=0.6,6,[%]<=0.7,7,[%]<=0.8,8,[%]<=0.9,9,[%]<=1,10)

Hello, this solution worked great and I'm wondering if you have an opinion on how to further refine it. I have a dataset that I have ranked using your methodology, and it's for 4 years' worth of data. What I would like to do, whether in the table or on a sheet in PowerBI with a slicer, is to perform the ranking only for the last 12 months. (which would re-calculate as I bring in new monthly data. Any thoughts how to accomplish this?
Thank you very much! This worked perfectly 🙂
