Ranking functions in charts

Last updated: 8/29/2025These functions can only be used in chart expressions.

Use the drop-down on each function to see a brief description and the syntax of each function. Click the function name in the syntax description for further details.

Suppression of zero values is automatically disabled when these functions are used. NULL values are disregarded.

Rank() evaluates the rows of the chart in the expression, and for each row, displays the relative position of the value of the dimension evaluated in the expression. When evaluating the expression, the function compares the result with the result of the other rows containing the current column segment and returns the ranking of the current row within the segment.

rank([TOTAL [<fld {, fld}>]] expr[, mode[, fmt]])

HRank() evaluates the expression, and compares the result with the result of the other columns containing the current row segment of a pivot table. The function then returns the ranking of the current column within the segment.

HRank([TOTAL] expr[, mode[, fmt]])
