TOPN Functions returns the same value as my COUNT aggregate function

Hey everyone. Sorry super new to posting. I have a measure that supposed to return the top 10 values of a table I'm working with (using Calculate and TopN). I have another measure that just aggregates values (using Count). However, as seen on the matrix table screenshot I attached here, the TOPN measure returns the same values as my other measure. Any idea why the TOPN isn't filtering the calculation? TIA

Hi,

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file whether it suits your requirement.

Sales: = SUM(data[sales])

% top 3 sales: = VAR _allsales = CALCULATE ( [Sales:], ALL ( data[category] ) ) VAR _topsales = CALCULATE ( [Sales:], TOPN ( 3, ALL ( data[category] ), [Sales:], DESC ) ) RETURN DIVIDE ( _topsales, _allsales )

Thanks for the reply from Jihwan_Kim.

Hi harmon-tuazon ,

Here I have another idea in mind, and I would like to share it for reference.Sample data is as follows:

1.Create two measure:

#Meal Kits = COUNT(financials[Index]) #Top 10 Meal Kits Ordered = VAR _p = SELECTEDVALUE ( financials[Product] ) RETURN MAXX ( FILTER ( TOPN ( 3, SUMMARIZE ( ALLSELECTED ( financials ), 'financials'[Product], "Top", CALCULATE ( COUNT ( 'financials'[Index] ), ALLEXCEPT ( financials, financials[Product] ) ) ), [Top], DESC ), 'financials'[Product] = _p ), [Top] )

2.The top three product totals were successfully obtained using the measure just created.

Zhu
