TopN + Others

Hi Dear Community,

 

I have created this Table and measure in order to get Top 5 cases.

 

Top casestable:

 

Top Cases2 = filter(UNION(DISTINCT('Cases'[L1_SubjectDesc]), DATATABLE("L1_SubjectDesc",STRING, {{"Others"}})), not ISBLANK('Cases'[L1_SubjectDesc]))
 
I also created 1:* relationship between this new table and Cases table.
 
And measure to sum top 5 cases count and the rest of cases count as "Others" :
 
Top 5 cases2 =
var TopCaseTable = TOPN(5, ALLSELECTED('Top Cases2'), [Case Count])

var TopCaseCount = CALCULATE([Case Count], KEEPFILTERS(TopCaseTable))

var OtherCases = CALCULATE([Case Count], ALLSELECTED('Top Cases2')) - CALCULATE([Case Count], TopCaseTable)

var CurrentCase = SELECTEDVALUE('Top Cases2'[L1_SubjectDesc])

Return
IF(CurrentCase <> "Others",
TopCaseCount,
OtherCases)
 
The problem:
 
The measure seems to work on table (without adding date field though) but not on matrix. The 2 fields are from Top Cases2 table:

 And itdoesn't work on a stacked bar chrat. First the legend shows all the subjects instead of top 5, then it seems to not show the top 5 of the cases.

 with the legend, which is from the Top Cases2 table.
 
Will appreciate your help to figure this issue out.
 
Cheers!
