Pie Chart to use % of grand total.

Anonymous — Thu, 03 Jan 2019 13:55:48 GMT

Good Morning Folks,

I'm stuck in that I want to have my pie chart show visually only the "Top 5" but keep the precentages of all items in that column. My visual is counting a single column of Text. What I would like is for visual below with TOP 5 have the over all percentages, knowing that it won't add up to 100%.

I've tried to use the built in "% of grand total" function on the visual drop downs. That did not work because once you filter it to "top 5" that top five becomes 100%.

I'm doing this for the Question "what are your top five templates used weekly"?

Correct Percentage

Correct Visual

Hi Anonymous,

Do these two images show the correct result? If so, please download the solution from the attachment.

1. Create a column in the table to show up "top 5".

2. Add the new column in a slicer.

Best Regards,

Unfortunately this will still give me a total of 100% and effectively a toggle switch of "all items or Top 5 items". I'll need the visual to only display the five largest represented items of the column and what percent of the Over All total it is. My work around is to put this in a visual table and hide anything that is lower than row 5.

Hi Anonymous,

How about this workaround? Showing others as one and still keeping the percentage.

ifTop5 =
VAR ranks =
    RANKX (
        ALL ( DimProduct[ColorName] ),
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( Sales[SalesQuantity] ),
            ALLEXCEPT ( DimProduct, DimProduct[ColorName] )
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( ranks <= 5, [ColorName], "others" )

Best Regards,
