Hi there,
I'm struggling with summing up the values of a group within a table. The group only displays the Bottom N of a category and I only want the sum of them and not the grand total of the whole category. Idealy I would like to have a column with the sum of this group i.e. the sum of the Bottom N.
Is there any way of doing this without changing the raw data?
Thank you
Anna

Hi @Anonymous ,
Botton N can be converted to TOP N in reverse order, and then we create a ranking measure first.
Rank = RANKX(FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[ID]=MAX('Table'[ID])),CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value])),,ASC,Dense)
Create another meausre to get the sum of top 2.
Top2Sum =
VAR _table =
SUMMARIZE (
'Table',
'Table'[ID],
"Top2Sum",
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),
FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), [ID] = MAX ( 'Table'[ID] ) && [Rank] <= 2 )
)
)
RETURN
SUMX ( _table, [Top2Sum] )
