Create a string tooltip with total

Hi,

 

I'm trying to create a measure to be used as a tooltip in a treemap. The tooltip should show a list of the top 5 sub-items with a total.

 

For example, each tree item in the chart is a state. The tooltip should show the 5 top cities in the state and the total value for each city. 

 

I'm able to show the top 5 cities, but I couldn't build the expression to include the total values.

 

I used the following expression:

 

Principais Partidos = 
var PartidosCount= DISTINCTCOUNT(deputados[siglaPartido])
Return
if (PartidosCount >5;
CONCATENATEX(TOPN(5;TOPN(5;Summarize(deputados;deputados[siglaPartido];"Total";Count(deputados[id]));[Total];DESC));[siglaPartido];", ";[Total];DESC) & " e mais";
CONCATENATEX(Summarize(deputados;deputados[siglaPartido];"Total";Count(deputados[id]));deputados[siglaPartido];", "))

 I would like the result to also contain the total of each item, like this: PSDB (#), PT(#), PRB (#), PR (#), DEM (#)

 

How can I achieve this?

 

Thank you!

See my attached demo.

Measure =
VAR summizedTable =
    SUMMARIZE (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
        'Table'[city],
        "total sales", SUM ( 'Table'[sales] )
    )
VAR Top3 =
    TOPN ( 3, summizedTable, [total sales], DESC )
RETURN
    CONCATENATEX (
        Top3,
        'Table'[city] & CONCATENATE ( "(", [total sales] )
            & ")",
        ","
    )
