Trying to Write a TopN Measure

Hi All,

I have a caclulated column in my Sales table of Over Odered values. I've then created a table visual with Suppliers in rows and Over Orders as a column. I now wish to just display the Top 5 Over Orders in that table visual. How am I able to achieve this? 

 

Thanks.

Hi Jiwan, I ended up cheating a little. As you can see from the image (suppliers blurred), I just sorted the graphic highest to lowest and resized the table to only view first four rows. I just thought a measure may simplyfy me resizing the table.  Many thanks.

Hi,

I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

I hope the below can provide some ideas on how to create a solution for your dataset.

Top five over ordered: =
CALCULATE (
    [Over ordered measure:],
    KEEPFILTERS (
        TOPN ( 5, ALL ( Sales[Suppliers] ), [Over ordered measure:], DESC )
    )
)
