TOPN 1 not working when result has more than one value returned?

I have a dax query to get me the highest category in a table based on a measure, it is like the below..

Most Common Day =
    TOPN (
        1,
        ALLNOBLANKROW(DimDates[Day_Name]),
        [Cases],DESC)

However this fails if their are days_names with the same number of cases on the day..

Does anyone know a workaround I can put in my measure to avoid this from happening?

Hi,

Try this measure

Most Common Day = CONCATENATEX(TOPN(1,ALLNOBLANKROW(DimDates[Day_Name]),[Cases],DESC),DimDates[Day_Name],", ")

Hope this helps.
