Numeric functions can be used to perform mathematical calculations and common calculations such as rounding and ranking.
The main numeric functions are as follows:
Abs
: This returns the absolute value of the number (this is useful if we have negative values that we need to display as positive)
Ceil
: This rounds up a number
Floor
: This rounds down a number
Mod

Truncate
: This truncates a number according to the number of digits we require to truncate
Rank
: This ranks a measure by dimension
Perform the following steps:

The rank formula will use two parameters: the measure that we require to rank and the dimension that we want to base our ranking on.
The formula syntax is =Rank([Gross Sales];[Year])
