Top N selection dropdown for report filter

[Sashwato]

Hello all,

I am trying to achieve a report wherein I can filter the Top 5, Top 10, Top 15 based selection from a dropdown or slicer to show the top results of Zip code data based on number of employees. Below screenshot can help understand:

If you see above I need something similar like a dropdown or button can also help in this case - Like Top 5 Zip, Top 10 Zips, etc. I would need the selection to basically filter ZIP codes on the entire report.

Hi @Sashwato ,

Based on your description, I did a test. You can do some similar steps as follows.

1. Create a "Top N" table. (I use the "Enter Data" to create it.) 

2. create a measure and drag it into the filter of the table visual.

Measure = 

var x1=RANKX(ALL('Table'),CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Value])),,DESC)

var x2=SELECTEDVALUE('Top N'[rank])

return

IF(x1<=x2,1,0)

Result:

Hope that's what you were looking for.

Best Regards,

You Need to Create Rank Function and Filter the Data based on Rank
You have a Slicer already which is showing 5,10,15 (Zip Codes) and let us assume the Column name of those 5,10,15 etc is [N]
Now use this code
VAR Rank of Zip = RankX(all(Table[Zip]), your measure )
RETURN
calculate(yourmeasure,filter(all(table[zip]),rank of zip <= [N]),distinct(zip))

This will give you the required information
