Retrieve Top5 Countries Total from a table visual and have it displayed in a card visual?

Dear Experts: 

 

I have got a table visual as follows: 

It shows the Top 5 Countries by Category Sales. along with a Ranking Column. It works just fine.
Top5Countries-By-CategorySales.png

The two measures Top5Countries and Ranking are as follows (please see below). They work just fine everything is ok.
Now here comes my question: How can I retrieve The Total Sales as depicted in the Table Visual (142,171,598 €) and have that value displayed in a card visual. 

 

Help is very much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance. Regards, Andreas
 

Top5Countries =
Var CountryRank =
RANKX(
    FILTER(
        ALLSELECTED(DimCtry),
        CALCULATE(
            [Total Sales],
            DimProd[CategoryID] = SELECTEDVALUE(DimCat[CategoryID])  // Ensure ranking respects category context
        )
    ),
    CALCULATE([Total Sales]),
    ,
    DESC,
    DENSE
)
RETURN
IF (CountryRank <= 5, [Total Sales], BLANK())

Ranking =
VAR RankValue =
    RANKX(
        FILTER(
            ALLSELECTED(DimCtry),
            CALCULATE(
                [Total Sales],
                DimProd[CategoryID] IN VALUES(DimCat[CategoryID])
            )
        ),
        [Total Sales],
        ,
        DESC,
        DENSE
    )
RETURN
    IF(RankValue <= 5, RankValue, BLANK()) // Only keep ranks 1-5, ignore others

Hi,

I am not sure how your semantic model looks like, but I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.

In this case, one of ways is using WINDOW and RANK DAX functions in measures.

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

Total sales: = 
SUM(sales[sales])

 

Top 5 countries within category: = 
VAR _topn =
    WINDOW (
        1,
        ABS,
        5,
        ABS,
        SUMMARIZE (
            ALL ( sales ),
            category[category],
            country[country]
        ),
        ORDERBY ( [Total sales:], DESC ),
        ,
        PARTITIONBY ( category[category] )
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        [Total sales:],
        KEEPFILTERS ( _topn )
    )

 

Ranking: = 
IF (
    [Top 5 countries within category:],
    RANK (
        SKIP,
        SUMMARIZE (
            ALL ( sales ),
            category[category],
            country[country]
        ),
        ORDERBY ( [Total sales:], DESC ),
        ,
        PARTITIONBY ( category[category] )
    )
)
