Resolver ICreate a TopN DAX measure across multiple columns
Hello Ashish,
Amazing, that was so simple, I need to remember that filters applied in Query Editor load so thank you.
Sorry to be a pain (😶) however I have one final query to finesse this formula.... Depending on the time period I select in my slicer, sometimes the Top N Consultant Name is someone who has actually now left the business. Is there an easy way I can filter the measure to include just current Consultants? I don't want to delete the underlying data in the 'Client Meetings' table as I need that for my aggregate YOY measures etc.
I have a seperate table called 'Consultant lookup' which contains all the names, departments, codes and the dates when each person was joined the business. For people who moved teams internally that is also indicated on this sheet. Is there any way I can use this to limit my Top N formula to just individuals who are still working for our company as of the current date? I can add a further column with a simple 'In the business on current date Y/N' type selection if that helps?
This is an example of my Consultant lookup table:
Effective from date Consultant Name Division 01/01/2020 Consultant A Business Tranformation 01/04/2022 Consultant B Finance 08/04/2022 Consultant C Board 15/04/2023 Consultant D Board 07/06/2023 Consultant E Business Tranformation 31/10/2023 Consultant A Digital & Technology 31/10/2023 Consultant D Sales & Marketing 01/11/2023 Consultant F Digital & Technology Thank you

Hi,
Share the dowload link of an Excel file. Have the 2 input tables there and via Pivots/formulas show the expected result. I will try to translate those formulas into the DAX language.
