12344455690
12344455670
12344455655
12399966620

Depending on your requirement:

 

RankX1 = RANKX('Table',[Amount],,ASC)
 
or
 
RankX2 = RANKX(FILTER('Table',[Item]=EARLIER('Table'[Item])),[Amount],,ASC)
 
You can then just filter for 1-3 in any visual.

In theory, you could also probably use a TopN filter I suppose...

@Anonymous across full table or 1st, 2nd, 3rd for each item, it is going to be different solution based on your requirement.
