Rank in Pivot Table

K

KrispyData

I created a pivot table that shows sales by customer by month. I grouped the
months into quarters. Now, I would like to rank the customers by sales for
each quarter - give each customer a rank for Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 sales. Is
ranking possible in a pivot table? And, is it possible to have a rank for
each quarter?

Not sure about ranking per-se, but did you know you can tell the PT to
sort categories based on values? Double click a category control (e.g.,
Quarter) | Advanced | Autosort Options | Descending | Using field "sum
of sales" or something similar for a top-down sort. Depending on your PT
layout you can have such sorts within sorts.

This partially worked for me, is there any way to control dublicate values,
as we are displaying "Running Total" so every next value is given a No. which
is 1+pervious value, even if the Rank value is equal to previous value:

Value Rank
10 1
9 2
9 3
7 4

both 9 shold be 2, any solution?
