datastore = dsservice:GetDataStore("Rank")
datastore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, plr.Rank.Value)
end)
game.Players.ChildAdded:Connect(function()
dsservice = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
datastore = dsservice:GetDataStore("Rank")
local text = datastore:GetAsync("Rank")
script.Parent.Rank.Value = text

Try this
local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local rankdatastore = datastore:GetDataStore("Rank")
game.Players.ChildAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local data
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
data = rankdatastore:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."-rank")
end)
if success then
-- here change the rank value, for example Rank.Value = data
else
print("There was an error whilst getting your data")
warn(errormessage)
end
end)
game.Players.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(plr)
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
rankdatastore:SetAsync(plr.UserId.."-rank", plr.Rank.Value)
end)
if success then
print("Rank successfully saved")
else
print("There was an error saving data")
warn(errormessage)
end
end)

it isnt working because you’re not specifying what youre getting, you are just getting ‘Rank’ but you save a value
GetAsync cant have 2 args, at least that works for me. the only arg there is the code, in which case is the players userid, what i do is attach a string to the players userid by doing datastore:GetAsync(player.UserId.. ‘-rank’) which will be able to be seperated from different players, and also be able to grab the right value. also you should wrap the :GetAsync() in a pcall function so it doesnt error incase the :GetAsync() fails. if this helped please accept my answer, else i will be happy to help you in the community chat
