it is possible as given here[^].

Here is the example used -

USE AdventureWorks2012
SELECT TOP(10) BusinessEntityID, Rate, 
       RANK() OVER (ORDER BY Rate DESC) AS RankBySalary
FROM HumanResources.EmployeePayHistory AS eph1
WHERE RateChangeDate = (SELECT MAX(RateChangeDate) 
                        FROM HumanResources.EmployeePayHistory AS eph2
                        WHERE eph1.BusinessEntityID = eph2.BusinessEntityID)
ORDER BY BusinessEntityID;
