Picking top 10 based on one year but need to have another years as well

Hi, 

 

I am working on matrix to create the net sales data of 4 years (2019,2020,2021,2022) but I want to do the top N only on one year and still want to see the other years as well

Hi,

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

I tried to create a sample pbix file like below, and I hope it helps to provide some ideas on how to create a new measure for your data model.

Quantity total conditional measure: =
VAR _topthreetable2021 =
    TOPN (
        3,
        FILTER ( ALL ( Data ), Data[Year] = 2021 ),
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( Data[Quantity] ) ), DESC
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        HASONEVALUE ( 'Year'[Year] ),
        IF (
            SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Year'[Year] ) = 2021,
            CALCULATE ( SUM ( Data[Quantity] ), KEEPFILTERS ( _topthreetable2021 ) ),
            SUM ( Data[Quantity] )
        )
    )

HI Jihwan, 

 

thanks for the reply. I want the other following years values remain the same (like in excel we have an option to sort only one column and rest of the columns will have values corresponding to the sorted column. similarly in power Bi I want t to pick the top N based on 2021 data. 

 

I also tried the formula you suggested but I get errors which I cannot understand. I am using proper syntax and parameters  but still shows syntax....
