Hi,
I want to create a top 5 rank for the below data on series. I am able to do this using RANKX and count quantity. Problem is I want to exclued "Not Specified" from my rank calculation to get below desired result. I then want to use this measure as filter on table visual to dynamically select the top 5 each month. When I use this measure
Rank Top 5=RANKX(ALL(Table[Series]),CALCULATE(COUNT(TABLE[Quantity])) it returns Top 5 including not specified and does not work as filter on page. Please help..
Filter not working
Desired Result
| Series | Quantity | Rank |
| Series C | 4 | 1 |
| Series G | 3 | 2 |
| Series B | 2 | 3 |
| Series F | 2 | 4 |
| Series A | 1 | 5 |
Data
| Series | Quantity |
| Series A | 1 |
| Series B | 1 |
| Series C | 1 |
| Series D | 1 |
| Series E | 1 |
| Series F | 1 |
| Series G | 1 |
| Series H | 1 |
| Not Specified | 1 |
| Series C | 1 |
| Series B | 1 |
| Series C | 1 |
| Series C | 1 |
| Series F | 1 |
| Series G | 1 |
| Series G | 1 |
| Not Specified | 1 |

@hemann , Try like
Rank Top 5=RANKX(Filter( ALL(Table[Series]), Table[Series] <> "Not Specified"),CALCULATE(COUNT(TABLE[Quantity]))
or try TOPN
CALCULATE(COUNT(TABLE[Quantity]),TOPN(5,Filter( ALL(Table[Series]), Table[Series] <> "Not Specified"),CALCULATE(COUNT(TABLE[Quantity])) ,DESC),VALUES(Table[Series]))

The Rank solution for some reason did not work.
The TOPN solution worked, thanks for your help.
