Hi @Anonymous,

 

To create a measure as below.

 

Measure = 
VAR ranksum =
    RANKX ( ALLSELECTED ( Table1[cate] ), CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[value] ) ) )
RETURN
    IF ( ranksum <= 5, CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[value] ) ), BLANK () )

RankX work only once it gives rank as a static one time only ,ranks will not work if user applies any filter over data.rankx always give rank for whole table.
