Filter Problem - Show Top 3 Companies for a particular category

Hello!

 

I really need help with this particular question.

 

Here is a mock dataset:

Product Type   Companies    Profit ($)    
AHop1000
ATop200
ACop0
BHop200
BTop0
BCop3000
CHop0
CTop0
CCop10000
DHop100
DTop0
DCop300
EHop300
ETop0
ECop0
FHop2000
FTop100
FCop1000

 

You can assume that there are A to F different types of products. There are a lot more companies and as you can infer that not all companies bring in sales for every product. 

 

I want to create a table/matrix visualization that shows the Top 3 Companies for each Product and its respective profit amount. I can not seem to filter this properly and I would appreciate any help!.

 

Thank you very much.

@lwklwk98 , Create a measures like

 

Profit M = sum(Table[Profit ($)])

rank = rankx(filter(allselected(Table[Product Type], Table[Companies]), [Product Type] = max([Product Type])), [Profit M])

 

and filter for Rank <=3

Sorry to bother you on this again, but can I ask if there is a way to do a double filter? 

 

I have the desired table but when I sort by each Product Type, the ranking will be jumbled up like 1,3,2 etc. I hope that the rank can be 1,2,3 consistently for all the product types.

 

I searched online and there isn't any double sorting so I was wondering if there is any quick method to resolve this? 

 

Thank you so much!

@lwklwk98 , In the table visual you can sort on two column. Sort on one column, with Shift pressed click on another column.
