Questions about selection filter in power bi

[jeanbinhozouza]

Hello everyone, my question and a current problem is how can I select a specific customer in the graph and it correctly returns my top 5, the top 5 only works correctly when I perform the filtering through a specific filter, which in this case is typing the customer's name , but I would like if just by selecting the customer the data would adjust, for the other graphs it works properly, except for the top 5.

Field 1 - Manual Filter.

Field 2 - Bar chart that you would like, once selected, to properly filter the top 5.

Field 3 - Top 5.

You can use DAX measures combined with slicers or filters. Here's a general approach you can follow:

1. Create a Measure for the Top 5 Customers: You need to create a DAX measure that calculates the relevant metric for your customers and returns the top 5 based on the selection.

2. Use a Slicer or Filter for Customer Selection: Ensure you have a slicer or filter visual on your report page that allows users to select a specific customer.

3. Apply the Measure to Your Visual: Apply the DAX measure you created in step 1 to the visual that displays the top 5 customers. This visual could be a table or a bar chart, depending on your preference.

Here's a sample DAX measure that calculates the metric (let's call it "Metric") and returns the top 5 customers based on the selected customer:

Top 5 Customers =
VAR SelectedCustomer = SELECTEDVALUE('Customer'[CustomerName])
RETURN
TOPN(5,
FILTER(ALL('Customer'),
'Customer'[CustomerName] = SelectedCustomer
),
[Metric], DESC
)

Replace 'Customer'[CustomerName] with the actual column reference to your customer names, and [Metric] with the actual metric you're measuring (e.g., sales, revenue, etc.).

Once you have the measure in place, you can apply it to your visual representing the top 5 customers. When a specific customer is selected in the slicer or filter, the top 5 customers visual should adjust accordingly based on the selected customer.
