Power BI Masterclass - Learning DAX Ranking and Nested Ranking

This video tutorial explores how to perform nested ranking in Power BI using DAX. It begins with an introduction to the concept and a use case, followed by steps to import data from Excel and set it up for ranking. The tutorial then demonstrates how to create a basic ranking using the RankX function and explains how to implement nested ranking by using variables and filters. The video concludes with final adjustments and a summary of the process.
