Using Q&A to display top X values

I need to display top 3 salesRep based on sales. Is this possible using Q&A?

Tricky with Q&A. Here is the definitive guide for asking questions:

What I would do would use something like RANKX to create ranking in your data model and then you could ask your Q&A question "sales reps with rank less than 4" for example.

 

If you are using a content pack and cannot manipulate your data model, you probably need to use something like:

 

"sales reps with highest sales"

 

You will likely get a bar chart but it will include all of the sales reps but it will be sorted by those with the highest sales.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

I believe once Top N Filter is included (which is already started) will help in Q&A.
