Hi all -    I am new to PowerBI - I know the measure I need to use (TOPN), but I can't quite figure out how to set it up properly.   I have ~20 columns across which I need to identify and display...

    Hi DLB13 ,

    1. Select the 'Respondent' column and right click to unpivot other columns in power queries, close and apply it.

    2. Create a measure like this:

     

    TOP3 =
    VAR tab =
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            DISTINCT ( 'Table'[Attribute] ),
            "Count",
            VAR attr = 'Table'[Attribute]
            RETURN
                COUNTROWS (
                    FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Attribute] = attr && 'Table'[Value] = attr )
                )
        )
    VAR newtab =
        ADDCOLUMNS ( tab, "Rank", RANKX ( tab, [Count],, DESC, DENSE ) )
    RETURN
        CONCATENATEX ( FILTER ( newtab, [Rank] = 1 ), [Attribute], "," ) & " "
            & CONCATENATEX ( FILTER ( newtab, [Rank] = 2 ), [Attribute], "," ) & " "
            & CONCATENATEX ( FILTER ( newtab, [Rank] = 3 ), [Attribute], "," )
    ​

     

    3. Put the measure in a card visual and you will get the top3 sports:

    In this sample file I also created a rank table for reference that you can refer.
