Filter order of Top N with any other filter

I have been using Top N feature on Power BI ever since it was released however, I realised today that it does not work well if applied along with other measure filter on the same grid. Basically, the Top N function is applied before any other filter hence there are cases when this returns less than N rows. Here is how you reproduce:

 

- Take a matrix visualization. Put couple of fields on rows and few measures in values.
- Take any column that is on row and apply top N filter for any measure you desire.
- Now take another measure that is visible and apply an advance filter where value > 100 or value is < 0 etc.
- What you will notice is the top N filter is applied first and then the second filter whereas it should filter the second one first and then applying top N filter.

 

Wither the filters section in visualisations should apply filters based on the order or let users choose the order.

There should be priority for the filters, the second filter you applied in third step may have higher priority than the top N filter.

I think you can create an idea in http://ideas.powerbi.com – apply filters based on the order or let users choose the order.
