Hi All,
I'm pretty new to DAX. So, struggling to get the expression right.
Problem : Create a tabular report with following columns:
Manager Name, Manager Department, Highest Salaried Person under him, Number of employees under him.
My Approach: So far, I have loaded the data set and merged query (self join) EMP.managerid = EMP1. Employee ID...
added a column to insert row_number() over(partition by manager order by salary )
But got stuck at how to get the corresponding employee name using row number..
Or is there any easy way to directly return employee with highest salary grouped by employer using DAX?
Data set:
| Employee ID | Emp Name | Manager ID | Department | Emp City | Salary |
| 1 | Har**bleep** | 10 | 10 | Toronto | 9500 |
| 2 | Mohan | 10 | 10 | Palo Alto | 9200 |
| 4 | Steve | 4 | 10 | Norcross | 12000 |
| 10 | Madhavan | 4 | 10 | Palo Alto | 10000 |
| 23 | Deepak | 4 | 10 | Toronto | 9000 |
| 24 | Vineet | 4 | 10 | Toronto | 9100 |
Expected Result:

@ak_sow8994 , Not very clear , You can create Rank and filter for 1. You can create top
rankx(allselected(Table[Employee]), [salary measure],,desc,dense)
use visual level filter Rank =1
Or try TOPN

@amitchandak Thanks a lot for quick reply. And thanks for your inputs. TOPN worked.
Next time, I'll make sure to frame my question clearly..
