    Hi esims123 ,

    Please try this:

    SiteTop5 =
VAR _table =
    GENERATE (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Heater Callout Data'[Created].[Month] ),
        TOPN (
            5,
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Heater Callout Data'[Site] ),
            COUNT ( 'Heater Callout Data'[Site] )
        )
    )
VAR _result =
    CALCULATE ( COUNT ( 'Heater Callout Data'[Site] ), KEEPFILTERS ( _table ) )
RETURN
    _result

that's great thanks, do you know if theres a way to select the top 5 without there being multiples who are within the top 5. For example there are several sites that have the same number of callouts which mean there are several sites within the top 5 rather than just 5.

 

thanks
