Rank to filter on this visual

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

@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.
