TopN - User selects N

Good Morning!

I am trying to create a table that shows the sales of Top N stores.  

User selects N - via clicking on a value (e.g., 1, 3, 5, 10, ...) in a slicer / 1 col table i have created - SelectNumber[Select Number]

Below is my Dax -  using SelectedValue does not work; if i give it a number like 3 or 4, it works.  I also tried calculate Max - did not work either.  

Please suggest.

Thanks!, Pavan

 

TopStores =
var RowCountbyUser = SelectedValue('SelectNumber'[Select Number])) -- 3 -- Calculate(Max('SelectNumber'[Select Number])) -- 
return
TOPN(RowCountbyUser,
--TOPN(SelectedValue('SelectNumber'[Select Number]),
SUMMARIZE('StoreSales', 'StoreSales'[Region], 'StoreSales'[State],'StoreSales'[Location],'StoreSales'[Store Type],
'StoreSales'[Volume Cluster], 'StoreSales'[Internal Net Sales]),
'StoreSales'[Internal Net Sales], Desc)

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Would you mind sharing your sample data (with sensitive information removed) in a way that is not an image so that we can better help you?

@Anonymous SELECTEDVALUE will not work if you choose more than one item in the slicer. You could use MAX('SelectNumber'[SelectNumber]) instead.

Thanks Greg.

User can only select 1 value.  I tried Max as well.  Did not work.

@Anonymous , you need only TOPN stores?

 

Top 10 by duration = calculate(Sum(Table[Value]),TOPN(10,allselected(table[Store]),[Total Duration],DESC), values(table[Store]))

 

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
