Nested sorting

Hi all, 

 

I'm struggling with something seamingly easy. I want to show the top 20 opportunities by sales $ per region. As per attached below, when I filter the TOP N opportunities (count) it filters all the opportunities based on the top 30 sales but how could I do a nested sorting to show teh top 30 opps by sales per region?

Hi @harrinho,

 

I think we just need a region slicer and a filter of top N = 5. Have look at the picture. It's similar with this scenario. In the upper part, the top 5 colors will show up if we choose a brand. In the bottom of the picture, if we want to show all the top 5, it would be not that clear.

BTW, it's a measure in the bottom part. 

 

4Measure =
RANKX ( ALL ( 'Product'[Color] ), CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sales[Quantity] ) ) )
5Measure =
IF ( [4Measure] <= 5, [4Measure], BLANK () )
