How to assign Rank in SSRS report? - reporting-services

Question

I have a column (impact/hr) which gets populated after some calculations. Now I would like to assign each row a rank. For example Maximum dollar amt gets the rank of 1. Any tips to write an expression would be appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

Just add some custom code in Report-Report Properties...-Code:
Dim Rank AS Integer
Function GetRank() AS Integer
Rank = Rank + 1
Return Rank
End Function
In your tablix's detail cell where you want the rank, use the following formula:
=Code.GetRank()
Each time it processes that cell, it adds one to the rank and displays the result.

Answer 2

It may be your secondary option !
You can arrange the Impact\Hr in ascending order and the show the Rank by using RowNumber function.
For More info see the RowNumber function.

Answer 3

Use the Rank function.
select [Impact per Hr], [My Rank] = Rank() over (order by [Impact per Hr] desc)
then use asc/desc depending on which value you want to be ranked high or low.
This is independent of any order by statement as well
Rank() is preferable to Row_Number() for applications like this because rows of the same value will have the same Rank, but will have a different Row_Number.

Answer 4

Step 1: Add the following code in code section of reports properties in Reports Builder.
Public dim previousValue as Integer = 0
Public dim i as Integer = 0
Public dim flag as Boolean = False
Public dim lastRank as Integer = 1
Public Function Rank(sourceValue as Integer ) As Integer
if previousValue = sourceValue
i = i + 1
flag = True
end if
if previousValue > sourceValue
lastRank = lastRank + 1
flag = False
end if
previousValue =sourceValue
if flag = True
return lastRank
else
lastRank = lastRank + i
i = 0
return lastRank
end if
End Function
Step 2: Call the above function from the cell where you want to display rank like this:
=code.Rank(SUM(Fields!SumTotal_Ending_Balance.Value))
