Hello,
I have one table with the Machine name and the number of Alarms. I want to create a simple graph with the top 10 of the machines with the hightest number of alarms, but witha condiction they should be lower than 14.
So, i have created the column rankAlarm and then i have filtered my graph with this column <10. However i have so many records with the same number of alarms..i.e in the same rank level...do you know how can i only display only 10 machines? And do you know how can i do this rank with the filter Alarms < 14?
Thank you in advance for your help
🙂
Hi Sea_and_Anne,
You can create a new table which contains only the first 10 rows and each Alarm value is less than 14.
NewTable = TOPN(10,FILTER('Table','Table'[Alarm]<14),Table[Alarm],DESC)
Thanks,

Hello Yuliana_GU,
Thanks for your help!
I have other doubt, if I have more than one register per machine, as the follow case, where i have Machine A with 4 registers. How can I write the TOPN function in order to appear machine A only one time and not fill the first 4 levels of the top 10.
NewTable = TOPN(10,'Table','Table'[Alarm],DESC)
| Machine | Alarms | Nature |
| A | 14 | a |
| A | 14 | s |
| A | 14 | f |
| A | 14 | g |
| B | 13 | a |
| B | 13 | g |
| D | 12 | r |
| E | 11 | t |
| F | 10 | h |
| G | 6 | w |
| H | 5 | q |
| I | 5 | a |
| J | 4 | g |
| K | 3 | h |
| L | 2 | t |
Seems like you need an additional piece of information. Perhaps adding an ID to your Machine table, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and then adding this number to your Rank would get you where you need to be.
I thought about this, how can i add the ID on power Bi?
Hi There,
To add a ID Column, Go to the Query Stage, Under Add Column Tab, Select Add Index Column and You are done.
