Next 5 tasks to take place in DAX

[MarkPHarris1]

Hi there,

I have a requirement to only show the next 5 tasks that are taking place in a table of tasks, I tried using the Top N filter in the filter pane, and it didn't take into account if I filtered it to one project above a task(I want to see the next 5 future tasks by project). I tried to remake the calculation using rankx eg. 

RANKX(ALLSELECTED('Tasktable'),CALCULATE(MIN('Tasktable'[Taskdate]),'Tasktable'[Taskdate] >= TODAY())) but it just showed 1's for all the different tasks. Can you help at all in suggesting some DAX that could make this achievable?

Thanks for your help in advance,

Mark

Hi @MarkPHarris1 ,

According to my understanding, you want to display the next 5 rows which date is later than today , right?
You could use the following formula:

top5 =
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( TaskTable[Taskdate] )
        IN TOPN (
            5,
            FILTER (
                CALCULATETABLE ( DISTINCT ( TaskTable[Taskdate] ), ALL ( TaskTable ) ),
                TaskTable[Taskdate] > TODAY ()
            ),
            [Taskdate], ASC
        ),
    1,
    0
)

Then apply the “top5=1” filter on this visual like this:

Is the result what you want? If not, please upload some data samples and expected output.
