Filter visual based on multiple criteria

Hi friends,

 

I'm trying to create a bar chart with sales volume by category. The values I want to present is the sales volume of a specific category and categories with top 3 sales volume. However, I don't know how to have these two filters simultanrous on one visusal.

 

Currently from the 'filter' option of the PowerBI, I'm able to dynamically filter Top 3 (top N filter type) or the specific catagory I want to present(basic/advanced filtering). May I ask if there's a way to keep both filters? Thanks!

 

Example:
From the table below, I want to present the sales volume of 'grocery' and the other 3 categories with the highest sales.

 

CatagorySales Volume
appliance10,000
baby15,000
grocery80,000
beauty30,000
jewellery1,000
clothing5,000

 

Bar chart I want to have:

Hi @hpilearn ,

 

Please new a measure like:

Measure = 
VAR __top3 = TOPN(3,ALLSELECTED('Table'[Catagory]),CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Sales Volume])))
VAR __result = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Catagory])="grocery"||SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Catagory]) IN __top3,1)
RETURN
__result

Then select the visual and configure the filter like this:
