Finding the bottom two numbers in a mesaure

Hi, 

I have a measure calculating an average score for few a criteria-based items. I want to find the two worst numbers and return the heading it belongs. There are four buckets and four items per bucket. It should keep the filter on the main bucket. 

for example bucket 1 worst two areas in performance are service catalogue and simplicity to log a ticket.

The values and the measurement are coming from a single table. 

In the common table, 

 

| Bucket 1 a | Bucket 2 a |

| Bucket 1 a | Bucket 2 b |

| Bucket 1 a | Bucket 2 c |

| Bucket 1 a | Bucket 2 d |     

| Bucket 1 b | Bucket 2 a |

| Bucket 1 b | Bucket 2 b |

| Bucket 1 b | Bucket 2 c |

| Bucket 1 b | Bucket 2 d |

Hi @osura_perera ,

I created a sample pbix file(see attachment) for you, please check whether that is what you want.

1. Create a measure as below to get the rank value per bucket base on the average value

 

Rank = 
IF (
    ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[Items] ),
    RANKX (
        CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Items] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Table'[Items] ) ),
        [Average value],
        ,
        ASC,
        DENSE
    )
)

 

2. Apply a visual-level filter with condition: Rank <=2
