Filtering Map Visual based on info in a table visual which is filtered using the top N filter

 
1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Well... I continued playing around, and of course right after posting for help (having spent a good 30 minutes seeking a solution) I figured out a solution! 😂

I just had to filter the "market" field int he map visual by top N just like I did the table... so obvious now!

For some reason I am unable to edit the body in the post, so I'll add details here...

 

I'm working on a repoort which contains a dimension table of markets (countries) and a fact table with sales information. I have a table visual with countries filtered by top 5 using the Top N filter function. There are also fiscal year filters on the page. I'm trying to create a map visual that responds dynamically to highlight the top 5 countries based on fiscal year selection (as the table does). 

 

I tried creating a measure to use as a filter for the map, such as the below, but that's not working...

Top5CountriesNetSalesDynamic =
CALCULATE(
    [Net Sales],
    TOPN(
        5,
        ALL(dim_market[Market]),
        CALCULATE([Net Sales], fiscal_year[fiscal_year] = VALUES(fiscal_year[fy_desc])),
        DESC
    )
)
