Need help with Measure for Matrix Table and Top 5

[bdehning]

I really need help in writing a measure.  I have attched sample PBI Table and screen shot of current table.  I use a Filter for the Reporting Location City and a Measure that shows the Top 5 Reporting Location Cities by a Count and then Sum.   That part works great.    I have been trying to get help but not getting results on my own.   Is this really not as simple as it seems.   

Now I need someone to write a measure that I could add to the filter that would keep the Cause Grouping under each City to the Top 5 by Frequency.      If a tie, then first look at top Frequency and then use the Incurred to break the tie to keep only 5. 

From image below , for example, under Kansas City there are three 3's which leaves 6 total causes  The tied 3's are Assault, Exposure and NC. 

The measure if working, would keep

Cut, Puncture 19

Burn, Scald 5

STF 5

NC 3

Assault 3

San Antonio would keep

Cut, Puncture 12

STF 10

Caught Between 2

Assault 2

Burn, Scald 2

Have you tried sorting by the sum measure in descending order?

[PaulDBrown · Accepted solution]

I would go for:

Ref =
 [Sum of Total Gross Incurred]  * 1000000000000 + COUNT(LossRunToExcel[Reporting Location City])

I got the first example to work in main file. Thank you for all the help.  I will need more time this weekend to try the more creative and visual 2nd option.

Yes Thank you so much.  

How  would you tweak the two measures If I have a page where Sum is looked at first and tie breaker would be count?

Top 5 by Frequency and Incurred measure would be easy to swap out Sum of Total for Count of Total but what abour Ref? 

Ref =
COUNT(LossRunToExcel[Reporting Location City]) * 1000000000000 + [Sum of Total Gross Incurred]

 [Sum of Total Gross Incurred]  * 1000000000000 + COUNT(LossRunToExcel[Reporting Location City])

[bdehning]

Thanks again for the work.

Try the following:

two measures

Ref = 
COUNT(LossRunToExcel[Reporting Location City]) * 1000000000000 + [Sum of Total Gross Incurred]

Top 5 by frequency and Incurred =
IF (
    ISBLANK ( [Sum of Total Gross Incurred] ),
    BLANK (),
    RANKX ( ALL ( InjuryCause[Cause Grouping] ), [Ref],, DESC, SKIP )
)

And then set the filter for this [Top 5 by frequency and Incurred] to less than 6 in the filter pane

Paul,

Are you still out there?  I need a tweak on 1 or two of the measures as I occasionally get a broken X Axis Sort on Columns and Table Sort Measure Count Totals are the same and Ties still occur? 

[bdehning]

Paul,  So far looks pretty good.  I really appreciate the work.  

I need to cross check several accounts.

Is there a way by sorting or tweaking the measure so that Cause Grouping in Matrix will show the highest Sum if Count is tied.  When I applied measures to main file sometime ties at count of 1 or 2 are showing Lower Sum values over higher Sum Values?

Paul,

I enjoyed the work from back in 2022 and how you solved the TOP 5 and Top 5 Issue>

I use the following 

This goes in Values and and we sort Reporting Location City by Top 5 of the Sort Measure.   

Sort measure Count Location Cause Sum =

VAR _FreqByCity = CALCULATE([Count of Total Gross Incurred], FILTER(ALL(InjuryCause[Cause Grouping]), [Top 5 by frequency and Incurred]<6))

VAR _LN = LEN(FORMAT(CALCULATE([Count of Total Gross Incurred], ALL('LossRun'[Reporting Location City])), "text"))

VAR _Pre = _FreqByCity *POWER(10, _LN*2)

VAR _Inc = CALCULATE(RANKX(ALLSELECTED(LossRun[Reporting Location City]), [Sum of Total Gross Incurred],,ASC,Dense), ALLSELECTED(InjuryCause[Cause Grouping]))

VAR _Mid = _Inc * POWER(10, _LN)

RETURN

IF(ISBLANK([Count of Total Gross Incurred]), BLANK(), _Pre + _Mid + RANKX(ALLSELECTED(InjuryCause[Cause Grouping]),[Ref],,ASC,Skip))

Ref =

VAR _MX =

    MAXX (

        ALL ( InjuryCause[Cause Grouping] ),

        CALCULATE ( SUM ( LossRun[Total Gross Incurred] ) )

    )

VAR _LNGTh =

    LEN ( FORMAT ( INT ( _MX ), "Text" ) ) + 1

RETURN

    COUNT ( LossRun[Total Gross Incurred] ) * POWER ( 20, _LNGTh )

        + SUM ( LossRun[Total Gross Incurred] )

Top 5 by frequency and Incurred =

IF (

    ISBLANK ( [Sum of Total Gross Incurred] ),

    BLANK (),

    RANKX ( ALL ( InjuryCause[Cause Grouping] ), [Ref],, DESC, SKIP )

)
Top 5 by frequency and Sevreity is used as filter is less than 6 to give Top 5 Cause Grouping.  

This worked as we wanted but I tried swapping out Reporting Location City in the Sort Measure with Day of Week for another Table and Visual but it does work as it does not break ties.  Day of Week is Text Column as well.  Any ides why it would not work like Reporting Locatioj City?
