Hello,
i have a pie chart with where I use the TOP N option in the filter panel to show me TOP 5 products with most errors.
When I select a category to see every row single product in a table, it is not showing all products of that category, but the already
filtered ones from the TOP N of the pie chart.
How to carry over the category selection, but ignore all other filters, which might been set?
Cheers.
Best.

Hi, @Applicable88 ;
You can create a measure and apply it to Filter on Visual.
method 1:
create a flag measure.
flag1 =
IF( MAX([Sub]) in SUMMARIZE( TOPN(5,ALLSELECTED('Table'),[value],DESC),[Sub]),1,0)
Then apply it into pie chart.
Method 2:
flag2 = RANKX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),CALCULATE( SUM([value])),,DESC,Dense)
Then apply it into pie chart.

I already explained it. Pie charts imply that the entire data subject (100%) is represented. Any filters that you apply to that data subject will skew that perception and lead to the wrong insights.

Please do not use Pie charts unless you show 100% of the data. Using TOPN with a pie chart is highly discouraged.
