Hi Maveryx,
Thanks for submitting your solutions for Cloud Quest #2! In the video solution we posted, Alteryx Chief Evangelist Josh Burkhow will guide you through the workflow.
Now, for this week’s quest, let's delve into the task of ranking records when there can be multiple records with the same rank.
Using the provided dataset that contains two columns [Name] and [Count], your goal is to identify the top five rankings based on the count. However, as there might be several rows with identical counts (similar to a round of golf), multiple individuals can occupy the same position (Rank) if they share the same score.
Your final result should look like the following image:
Hint: Identify the top five positions (ranks 1 through 5) based on the Count column before proceeding with your analysis.
A combination of Join, Summarize, Sample, Row ID, and Sort tools should solve your problem, not necessarily in this sequence.
If you find yourself struggling with any of the tasks, feel free to explore these interactive lessons in Maveryx Academy for guidance:
Here’s to a successful quest!
We want to hear from you!

Thank you!
Quite a simple one
I'm a big fan of the sort option built directly into the "Row ID" tool. I'm not a big fan of the sort being required though:
So this was an interesting difference between Designer Cloud and Designer. I would have used the Multi-row formula in Designer, but I like the new sort feature of the RowID tool in Designer Cloud.
