Creating a Top N and Others Table from related table (using Rankx)
Hello,
I'm trying to create a table showing say Top 5 Sales by Products and the balance in others. My tables are as follows:
| SalesTable | ||
| Customer | Product | Amount |
| A | AAA | 100 |
| B | BBB | 50 |
| C | CCC | 10 |
| D | AAA | 100 |
| ProductsTable | |
| Product | Description |
| AAA | |
| BBB | |
| CCC |
Intended output...
| Ranked Product Table | |
| Product | Sales |
| AAA | 200 |
| BBB | 50 |
| Others | 10 |
I have tried the solution here, but came across errors.
I am able to rank the products with the following formula:
Product Rank = RANKX(ALL('ProductsTable'[product]),SUMX(RELATEDTABLE('SalesTable'),'SalesTable'[Amount]))
I am unable to create the next formula:
Top 5 products = IF([Product Rank]<6,'ProductsTable'[product],"others") where i am unable to reference the column, 'ProductsTable'[product], either directly or using RELATED.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

Anonymous , try like
rank1 =RANKX(ALL('ProductsTable'[product]),calculate(SUM('SalesTable'[Amount])))
calculate(sum('SalesTable'[Amount]),filter('SalesTable',[rank1]<=5))
