RANK.EQ DAX Function (Statistical)

Returns the rank of a number in a column of numbers. If more than one value has the same rank, the top rank of that set of values is returned.

Syntax

RANK.EQ ( <Value>, <ColumnName> [, <Order>] )
Parameter Attributes Description
Value

The value to be ranked.

ColumnName

A column in which the value will be ranked.

Order Optional

The order to be applied. 0/FALSE/DESC – descending; 1/TRUE/ASC – ascending. If omitted, the default is descending.

Return values

Scalar A single integer value.

A number indicating the rank of Value among the numbers in ColumnName.

Remarks

The following RANK.EQ calls:

RANK.EQ ( <value>, table[column] )

RANK.EQ ( <value>, table[column], <order> )

correspond to the following RANKX calls:

RANKX (
    SELECTCOLUMNS ( table, table[column] ),
    table[column],
    <value>
)

RANKX (
    SELECTCOLUMNS ( table, table[column] ),
    table[column],
    <value>,
    <order>
)

The <value> placeholder is a DAX expression executed in the filter context where RANK.EQ is evaluated.
The <order> placeholder is the optional order argument, which is descending by default.

Examples

--  RANK.EQ find the ranking of a value in the column 
--  passed as second argument. The column values are sorted
--  according to the third argument (default DESC).

--  RANKX can be used instead of RANK.EQ, iterating
--  the table containing the column to analyze 
--  for the ranking
DEFINE

--  RANK.EQ keeps duplicated value in the sorted column
--  to evaluate the ranking. The ranking obtained skips
--  the rank number in case of ties (SKIP argument of RANKX).
