How to calculate n top value of a measure

Hi experts,

 

I have a claculated measure, which is strongly related to Date-Values. In a Time range, I would like to sort asc this measure and then calculate the average of n values of it.

n is: 

Quantile:=
var CalculateQuantil= ROUNDUP(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table1[Date_SID]) * 0,2;0)
return CalculateQuantil

 and then:

How can I do that in dax?

Hi, 

 

Are you trying to balancing the data in bin buckets or just try to get the averages, I need to create a balancing funcinality like quantile but I was not been able to do it, do you know if there are any functions in PBI,

 

thanks?

I think this thread will answer your question.@ give the DAX with the PBIX file that you can download.

Thank you sir for yor post:

I am trying the following Dax:

Quantil:=
var CalculateQuantil= ROUNDUP(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table[Date_SID]) * 0,2;0)
return
CALCULATE([Measure1];
FILTER(VALUES(Table[Date_SID]);
 RANKX(VALUES(Table[Date_SID]);[Measure1];True()) <= CalculateQuantil))

 but I get this error:

Error: Calculation error in measure 'Table Analysis'[Quantil]: Function 'RANKX' does not support comparing values of type Number with values of type True/False. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values. 

 

What is my mistake?

@Fariba1984 This looks like a measure aggregation problem. See my blog article about that here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Design-Pattern-Groups-and-Super-Groups/ba-p/138149

The pattern is:
MinScoreMeasure = MINX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
MaxScoreMeasure = MAXX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
AvgScoreMeasure = AVERAGEX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
etc.
