Cloud Quest #3: Ranking Duplicate Data

[AYXAcademy]

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.

@AYXAcademy 
It will better we have the dataset as input. 😁

You're sort of an overachiever.

This was aimed at Rob, although I understand why he did what he did :)

[ScottMcV]

ADDENDUM: Rob says I'm a cheater and I can't just eyeball the top five values. So I hope I'm "tweaking" it to his approval using a variation on what I was doing to return only the top five groupings.  

PRIOR:

I also created my own dataset, although I assume the intent was to "summarize" data, not start with it summarized, so I sort of cheated by skipping that step.  Realized my description was potentially a spoiler, so edited.

And yes, I did make Rob the winner.
