No we can't apply rank and sort at a time on one object in one single report.If we try to apply , BO asks if you want to over write the previous condition.

You can do only sorting or Ranking

Even if you do that, It will overwrite the formatting

I agree pooja stament is correct

Cheers,

Hi,

We can DO It yar,

First apply the shorting on the column you want to apply the ranking. Then select the column it will ask you that “The sorting is done already in this column Do you want to Overwrite it” -> Say Yes.

Then Specify the Rank Top 10 or Bottom 10 .

Regards

Jay

Hi We cannot apply ranking on a particular object if filters and sorting is already set on that object and moreover ranking is done only on measures.

If we think logically what is the purpose of sorting, if its been ranked already, Ranking will sort the rows from higher to lowest order(Descending order). Does it make sense :)

Thanks
