Dynamic alias for row level data

I've got a table displaying the top 20 buyers of a product based on total spend. These top 20 buyers obviously can and will change over time. The only identifer I have for these buyers are their real names which I cannot show to users of the report. What I want to do is instead of showing their names I'd like to show something like "Buyer 1" through "Buyer 20" on the visual regardless of what actual buyer is being represented by the data. I think it would be easy if I always wanted to show top 20, perhaps just create a column that only has the text I need to dispaly in it and then hide the user name column on the visual (is that even possible), but I'd really like to have it dynamic so I can choose any Top N value and have it popualte the way I want. 

 

Is this possible?

Hi @DJBAJG ,

 

Yes, it is possible. You could create a measure to show rank or create a table to match names.

Here is my test file for your reference.
