    Hi parry2k, thanks for your reply. Apologies for the delay in responding to your message.

    Please find the link to the PBIX file. My expected output is as per below screenshot. The 5th one can be any user with 1 project. 

    My measures are all included in the PBIX file.

    Thanks in advance.

Hi parry2k , thanks for your prompt reply, very much appreciated. I've tried out the approach on the link you mentioned but it didn't work for me (See below).

On using TopN filter, I also tried that but it returns all the records as I mentioned earlier which I believe is because of the ties.

VAR DepartRank = RANKX(ALL(User[First_LastName]),([NoOfProjects]+INT(CALCULATE(MIN(Dates[Date]))) / 100000))
RETURN
IF(DepartRank<=5, ([NoOfProjects]+INT(CALCULATE(MIN(Dates[Date]))) / 100000), BLANK())
 
Any further ideas/solution will be appreciated.

I have resolved the issue using rand() by applying these methods.

Top 5 Projects =
VAR ProjRank = RANKX(ALL(User[First_LastName]),[NoOfProjects],,DESC)
RETURN
IF(ProjRank<=5, [NoOfProjects], BLANK())
2nd: TieBreaker = Top 5 Projects +Rand() and then used TopN to select Top5 based on TieBreaker measure. 
Thanks again parry2k for trying to assist.
