Page Level Filter rejecting placement of RANK measure

Hello,

I am trying to place my measure that calculates item ranking into the "Page Level Filters" field so that I can filter the entire page to the top 15 Brands of a specific category of sales data. When I drag and drop the measure into the field, it does not stay there. It seems to reject the measure. I assume this is user error due to the contextual nature of the measure, but I would really like to filter by rank, how can I do it?

 

Here is how the measure is written:

$ Vol Rank = IF(SUM( 'DATA'[$ Vol] ) > 0, RANKX ( ALLSELECTED( 'DATA'[Brand] ), CALCULATE(SUM( 'DATA'[$ Vol] ), ALLEXCEPT( 'DATA', 'DATA'[Market], 'DATA'[Brand] ))), BLANK() )

 

Thank you,

Bobby

    Measures can't be used in slicers or page filters. Would need to create a calc column (or a measure that returns only top 15)

  • My RANKX is far easier and I cannot use it as a filter at the report level or the page level.

     

    Item Folder Rank = RANKX(all('Execution Log'[Item Folder]),'Execution Log'[Executions],,,Dense)

     

    I want my entire report to be limited to only <=10 as this measure calculates.  Essentially an analysis on the "Top 10".

     

    What gives?

      I am not able to create a calculated column using RANKX. Can you tell me exactly what work around I used to restrict my rank meanure below to top 5 in the entire page :

      RankManuSales = RANKX(ALL(Manufacturers[Manufacturer]),[Total Sales], , desc)
