How to rank and sort Power BI card visuals by measure values or rank?

When working with Power BI card visuals, I want to dynamically rank and sort them based on measure values, reflecting the user's filter and slicer selections. How can I implement dynamic sorting or ranking to ensure that the displayed information is always in line with the current context and provides the most relevant insights?

Answer 1

To dynamically rank and sort Power BI card visuals:

1. Create a Ranking Measure using DAX (RANKX) based on the desired measure.

   Example:

Rank Measure = RANKX(ALL('Table'[Category]), [Measure], , DESC)

Apply the Measure to the Card Visual: Use the ranking measure to adjust the card visual's order.

Use Slicers/Filters: Ensure the visual updates based on user selections.

Dynamic Sorting: To show top N items, use the TOPN function in a measure to filter the card.

This ensures the card reflects the current context of filters and slicers, displaying the most relevant insights.
