IGLOO BI

If you mastered Cross Ranking—which weaves together the contexts of stores and products—in Part 4, it is now time to add the flow of time. "Why did a product that was 5th last month rise to 2nd this month?" The direction and speed of change are often more important than the static position of the data. In this Part 5, we will conquer the core DAX logic for calculating month-over-month rank fluctuations and implementing an arrow-based dashboard. Power BI Ranking Analysis Series This series consists of five practical analysis parts: Part 1 — Global Ranking (RANKX + ALL)  Part 2 — Top-N & Others (Pareto) Part 3 — Relative Rank Index   Part 4 — Cross Ranking (Store × Product)  Part 5 — Rank Change Analysis  -- Current Post   1. Analysis Data Overview: H1 2024 IT Device Sales The data we are analyzing consists of monthly sales records for 5 major product lines across 4 stores.   2. Why is Rank Change Analysis Important? Strategically, "who is climbing up"...

In Part 3, we categorized the strategic grades of products. Now, it is time to combine the contexts of Store and Product. This is because a product that is number one company-wide might actually be the worst performer in a specific store, or a small store might achieve top rank in a specific category. In this Ranking Part 4, we will use the ALL family of functions to master the design of "Cross Ranking," which intersects the contexts of stores and products.

  This is the third installment of our Ranking Analysis series. In Part 2, we identified market concentration by distinguishing between Top-N and Others. In this part, we will elevate the qualitative value of your ranking data through the "Relative Rank Index." Simply stating "It's 3rd place" carries a different weight in decision-making than saying "It's a core product within the top 20%." As datasets grow, relative indicators that show a position within the entire set become far more important than absolute ranking numbers.

Why do we need a 'Relative Rank Index'? In practice, being 5th place when there are only 10 products is worlds apart from being 5th plac...

The reason we learn the ALL function in Power BI is not just to simply remove filters. It is to establish a Grand Total as a universal reference point and clearly understand the relative position of each item within that context. In the previous post, we looked at the performance structure between products through Mix (Share) and Ranking analysis. In particular, by combining the ALL and RANKX functions, we established a Global Ranking from a company-wide perspective and verified what position each product occupies within the overall sales structure. In this post, we intend to go one step further and expand the horizon of our analysis. The protagonist is Pareto analysis, which uncovers the point of strategic decision-making by using the ALL function to clear filters for "Share," the RANKX function to grant "Order," and then "Accumulating" these results. This process of finding the basis for "Selection and Concentration" beyond a simple listing of...

In Power BI, ranking analysis goes beyond simple data sorting; it is a vital method for understanding market structures. While a simple sales report focuses on the past record of "how much was sold," ranking analysis answers more critical questions: Which of our products is the number one bestseller? What percentage of total sales do the top 20% of products generate? How much has this month's rank changed compared to last month? How does the ranking of popular products differ from store to store? To answer these questions, you must use the RANKX function in conjunction with the ALL function. The ALL function plays an especially crucial role in ranking analysis because it restores data hidden by filters, creating a "complete competitive landscape that includes invisible competitors."
