Matrix to display TopN based on grand total and not monthly values

I have the following measure that is displaying more than TOPN.  I want top 15 clients.  I believe it's because I have YEAR and MONTH in my results.  Ideally I'd like the top N to be based on the 2023 total and if that isn't possible then based on the grand total for each line of data.

Top N Hours =
VAR TopNValue = 'Top N Clients'[Top N Clients Value]

Var TopClientHours =
TOPN(
    TopNValue,
    ALLSELECTED(TopHours),
    EmpTime_Clients[HoursPYTD]
    )
Var AllHours =
CALCULATE(
    EmpTime_Clients[HoursPYTD],
    ALLSELECTED(TopHours)
)
Var OtherHours = AllHours - CALCULATE(EmpTime_Clients[TotalHrs], TopClientHours)
VAR TopTHours =
CALCULATE(
    EmpTime_Clients[TotalHrs],
    KEEPFILTERS(
        TopClientHours
    )
)
Var currentTHours = SELECTEDVALUE(TopHours[Client])
RETURN
IF(
    currentTHours= "* Other",
    OtherHours,
    TopTHours
)

@jajoerger , Create a measure like

Last Year = calculate(Sum(EmpTime_Clients[TotalHrs]) , previousyear(Date[Date])

 

Use this as visual level filter for TOPN filter

 

Or create another measure like

 

calculate(Sum(EmpTime_Clients[TotalHrs]) ,keepfilters(topn(10, allselected(EmpTime_Clients[Client]), [last Year], desc) ))

I'm not quite following 100%.  Should I delete the measure (Top N Hours) that I created and create a new one?
