Hello,
I'm trying to create a measure and at a given moment I use the following expression:
Top =
VAR Nth = 2
VAR Category = ALLSELECTED(Table[Category])
VAR Sales =
ADDCOLUMNS(
VALUES(Table[Category]),,"Rank",RANKX(Category,[Total Sales]))
VAR FilterNThCategory = FILTER(Sales , [Rank] = Nth)
VAR NthLineName = MINX(FilterNThLine,Table[Category])
VAR Subtop = CALCULATE([Total Sales],Table[Category] = NthLineName)
return Subtop
in theory the return of the variable "NthLineName" is a string, but when I use it inside the FILTER function, I don't get the expected result. However, when I replace "NthLineName" with the string "Cars", it works perfectly.
Does the FILTER function not support the use of variables or am I doing something wrong? is there any way to get around it?
thank you very much in advance

Hi @Anonymous
Please make a little bit change to your measure.
Top =
VAR Nth = 2
VAR Category =
ALLSELECTED ( 'Table'[Category] )
VAR Sales_ =
ADDCOLUMNS(
VALUES ('Table'[Category]),
"Rank", RANKX ( Category, [Total Sales] )
)
VAR FilterNThCategory =
FILTER(Sales_,[Rank]=Nth)
VAR NthLineName =
MINX(FilterNThCategory,'Table'[Category])
VAR Subtop =
CALCULATE ( [Total Sales], 'Table'[Category] =NthLineName)
RETURN
Subtop
Result should look like this:

Does it help if you replace VALUES ( Table[Category] ) with Category?
If not, then can you provide some example data and desired results to test against?
