How do you mimic SQL Dense_Rank function using set analysis?

Hello,

I am using the following expression to rank average values by group.

=Only({$<OrganizationID={$(vOrganizationID)}>} aggr(Rank(TOTAL -Avg(value)), group))

This works except for when the average of the value is the same. It assigns the values the same rank but skips numbers after that. Here is an example:

1

2

3

3

5

6

I would like instead have it look like this:

1

2

3

3

4

5

Can anybody help me out with this?

Thanks!

I am updating the expression because the one I posted is incorrect. The correct expression is as follows:

=Only({$<goupID={$(vGroupID)}>} aggr(Rank(TOTAL -Avg(value)), groupID))


Sorry for the confusion.

Here is what the example data would look like. I am calculating the average of the value field and returning the rank of the groupID that is set in the vGroupID variable based on the average.

It is not an expression. It is set in a Web UI and will always match one of the groupID values shown in the example data.
