Hi,
Please help understand why my rank function is not working when using descending as my direction.
Please find attached screenshot. I am expecting to do the ranking by starting to highest rank to rank 1.
Thanks in advance for helping.

Hi Tom,What is the expected behavior when the values to be ranked are all equal to each other like Code3 in your screenshot?
Hi @anirudh, I am planning to filter 1 if this will be successful to get the last occurrence value in code3.
The descending element impacts how larger and smaller numbers are ranked but it is the sequential element of your function impacting the behaviour you mention. Are you always looking to show the final occurrence or just a unique list? If it is the unique option you could try the ISFIRSTOCCURRENCE function, check out the Anapedia page here: https://help.anaplan.com/anapedia/Content/Calculation_Functions/All/ISFIRSTOCCURRENCE.htm

How about having another module by Code3 (need to create it as a list) where you summarize the number of counts for each Code3 (group), and use that to compare with the Rank result. You can then use this as filter:
- when Rank is equal to the group count or
- transformed Rank i.e initial Rank - group count + 1. In this case, you always use 1 as filter
Hi everyone 👋 If you build or maintain Anaplan models, you've probably hit the same walls I kept hitting. Some basic questions about a model's structure have no single screen to answer them. You end up clicking through modules and pages one by one, or writing API scripts just to get a list. These were the gaps that…
Hi Everyone, We have a requirement in Anaplan Consolidation & Reporting (Fluence) where the Entity Structure needs to change effective January 2026. The key requirement is that the existing entity structure should continue to be applicable for all reporting and consolidation periods through December 2025, while the new…
We've been building a tool called aplan4sheets and we'd genuinely like input from this community — both on what we've built so far and on what we should prioritize next. The problem we set out to solve: Anaplan's Excel add-in is Windows-centric, and there's no real native way to pivot Anaplan data in Google Sheets. We…
