TopN visual filter not showing TopN

Anonymous — Fri, 06 May 2022 14:15:14 GMT

I have a list of items (called Inc_CI_Service) and their percent of increase since last month (called _Inc Diff % PMs to SP) in a matrix. This list is filtered to only show items where there were at least 5 items during the previous month.

When I try to filter the "Inc_CI_Service" on the top 5 items by "_Inc Diff % PMs to SP", it will only return the 1st item.

Why and how to resolve?

Hi, Anonymous ;

I have tested the following, topn is normal, I am not clear about your table structure and fields, can you share a simple file after removing sensitive information?

The problem turned out to be ther other filter (_Inc Count is greater than x). PBI is applying filters in the "wrong" order. It is ranking the items so if you filter on Rank less than 6, it returns that. Then it applies the _Inc Count is greater than x. If none of the items in the top 5 have more than x tickets, it returns nothing.

What I need it to do is reverse that order of application. So I'm going to create a new thread for that.

Not so much a solution as an explanation.
