Ranking Question

I have an issue with defining rank on a measure. My defined measure displays either a 1 or a 0. I would like to show all 1’s on the report. When I apply the rank to the user name dimension variable nothing happens. (I still am displaying all 1’s and 0’s) What am I doing wrong?

I am selecting ‘top’ and typing in 1. Then picking my measure in the drop down list.

Try putting a filter on the table, where your measure = 1.

My measure is not available in the filter list of variables…is it defined at the report level.

You can still use it in a table filter.

How if its not available in the list of variables when I go to add to the filter?

If it’s not in the list of variable, then you didn’t create a variable, you created a formula. You’ll need to convert the formula to a variable to use it in a filter.

It’s a variable. It is a measure defined at the report level…I think the issue is there are sum()'s in it.

That could be. You can’t filter based on an aggregate because the aggregate results change based on the filter. It creates a circular reference. Can you build the variable without the sum() function?
