Need help with Measure for Matrix Table and Top 5

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 Reportin...

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

    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, it's definitely an issue in the service. You need to sort by the city field to get the axis to respect the structure:

    It actually emulates the problem we used to have in Desktop when you turned off concatenate fields: for the setting to take effect, you needed to sort the axis by the fields:

    It might be worth reporting the issue on the issues forum:

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?
