Top N Slicer Fiscal Year

I have a fiscal year rank in my Date calender, which filters my visuals based on less then or equal to in the slicer. I am wondering if its possible to have the same outcome but without the "1" box. 

I create a Top N table "TopN = GENERATESERIES(0, 20, 1)" which gives me the single value field I am looking for but it filters only a single value. For example, if I selected 2, it would give me the 2nd highest rank fiscal year. Is there any Dax I can write where I could select a single value using my Top N slicer and it would give me that fiscal year and anything less then or equal to?

Hi,

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

Sales measure: = 
SUM(Sales[Sales])
TonNsales: = 
VAR _selecttopn =
    MAX ( 'TopN Table'[Value] )
VAR _currentyear =
    MAX ( 'Year'[Year] )
VAR _alltableperyear =
    FILTER ( ALL ( Sales ), Sales[Year] = _currentyear )
VAR _result =
    CALCULATE (
        [Sales measure:],
        KEEPFILTERS ( TOPN ( _selecttopn, _alltableperyear, [Sales measure:], DESC ) )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( HASONEVALUE ( 'Year'[Year] ), _result )

The DAX function TOPN is designed to return the top N values as you are describing.  For example, if 2 is selected, then TOPN would return 1 and 2. 

Here is a good example of the implementation:

Link to the documentation on TOPN:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/topn-function-dax 

If you need additional assistance, please post your DAX script here so we can see what you are doing. 

I created a topn table TopN = GENERATESERIES(0, 20, 1) and used this to create a slicer and want to use this to filter my fiscal years in my charts. I have fiscal yer ranked on my calendar but it only returns the FY indicted in the topn slicer so if I enter 5 it would show the fiscal year 5 years back. I want it to show fiscal years for a range of 1-5.

Hi @PowerRocky12 ,

 

Is this you want ?

If yse, please try this measure and put it in filter pane of this column chart and set it show when value is 1.

Measure = IF( SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[FY])<=MAX('TopN'[FY Slicer]),1)
 

Pbix in the end you can refer.

Thank you but i already have it working like this. I am trying to only have a single input box and remove the other. Is this possible? 

Yes, it is.  You should be able to remove the first slicer without any issues.  Can you please try and see if it still works?
