Dynamic Top N

Hello,
Ive got data in power BI pulled from SQL. Columns are : Date, SiteName, PersonName, SalesNumber, What I want to do is have a table to show the Date and then in that show the top 5 PersonName and the Sales Number. Each day will show the different peoples name and the volume. I need it to be dynamic so that If i then select a specific site in the SiteName slicer it will pull the top 5 from that specific site.
Example of outcome

Thanks

Hi, @k-linerz 

 

You can try the following methods.

Measure = 
Var _Top5=TOPN(5,ALLSELECTED('Table'[Name]),CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Sales])),DESC)
Var _name=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Name])
Return 
IF(_name in _Top5,1,0)

Put Measure in the Filter of the view and set it equal to 1.
