Hi,
I'm having problem with the use of TOPN, for some reason.
Here is an exemple of my model :
Employe | City | % |
John | Buffalo | 40% |
Julia | Buffalo | 38% |
Pedro | San Jose | 38% |
Carey | San Jose | 18% |
I want a measure that would give me only the top performer (%) by city.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
I succeeded! I used that formula :
Go to Filter pane
click on city column and Select Filter type as top N
And and click on top and type 1 and then add measure(in your case % measure) by which you want top N.
Thanks & regards,

If I resolve your problem Mark it as a solution and give kudos.
For some reasons, it gives me the top 2 employees of 2 random cities (out of 22). However, I made a % measure (with DIVIDE) and inserted it in the TOPN (filter/TOP N | 2 / by value).
Date sample
Employee | City | % |
Jake | Boston | 0,93203883 |
Martin | Tampa Bay | 0,92977099 |
James | Nashville | 0,92857143 |
Tuukka | Calgary | 0,92785105 |
Braden | Edmonton | 0,92517986 |
Connor | Minnesota | 0,92410401 |
Devan | Toronto | 0,92271819 |
Corey | Florida | 0,92125984 |
Mike | Minnesota | 0,90125984 |
What I get from my report (FILTER : City, Filter type : TOP N, # : 2, by value : %)
Employee | City | % |
Connor | Minnesota | 0,924 |
Mike | Minnesota | 0,920 |
When you put the data in a matrix with the city as columns, do you get one or two columns for Minnesota?
If you get two it's probably because there's a trailing space in a row somewhere in your data in the city column.
Try to clean up your data (trim the city column) and see if the problem persists.
I only have one column for minnesota and my datas are pretty clean 😞
I succeeded! I used that formula :
Hi @NumeroENAP
try new calculated table
Table 2 =
ADDCOLUMNS(
SUMMARIZE('Table';'Table'[City];"%";MAX('Table'[%]));
"Employee";
LOOKUPVALUE('Table'[Employe];'Table'[City];[City];'Table'[%];[%])
)
