Measure to Create Static Top Item List

I'm looking to create a measure that will allow me to filter out only the top 250 items. I'm connected to a live database, so I cannot create columns.    I have an item, customer, and sales table. ...

    Strange, perhaps try it like this.

    Top 250 Item Sales =
VAR _TopN = 10
VAR _TopProducts =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        TOPN (
            _TopN,
            ALL ( 'Item'[Item Number External] ),
            [Net Sales Product LY], DESC
        ),
        'Market Channel'[Market Channel] = "ED",
        REMOVEFILTERS ( Customer ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Item', 'Item'[Item Number External] )
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        [Net Sales Product YTD],
        FILTER (
            VALUES ( 'Item'[Item Number External] ),
            'Item'[Item Number External] IN ( _TopProducts )
        )
    )
        + IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Item'[Item Number External] ) IN ( _TopProducts ), 0 )

This did the trick! The measure seems to be working now! I adjusted back to the 250 and it looks good. 

 

Thank you for your help
