Top 3 Value for each category and year

Hi im trying to create a Top 3 measure (rank) for each Year and Area. Is it possible to create a measure that rank the value based on dimension value area and year like:

Hi  @Wanderer1985 ,

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create measure.

rank =
RANKX(
    FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Area]=MAX('Table'[Area])&&'Table'[Year]=MAX('Table'[Year])),
    CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value])),,DESC)

2. Result:

Did You Try This Measure? 
Rank within Area =

      
RANKX (
ALLEXCEPT ( Table1, Table1[Area] ),
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[Value] ) )
)

Hi, @Wanderer1985  Please Try This Measure.

Rankx =
RANKX (
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table '[Area], 'Table '[Year] ),
'Table'[Area] = MAX ( 'Table'[Area] )
),
CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ) )
)



Hi, this also only gives 1 in return...

Rank within Area =

)

@Wanderer1985 , Create a simple TOP 3 and use that

 

Top 3= calculate(max(Table[Year]),TOPN(3,allselected(table[Year]),calculate(sum(Table[Value])),DESC), values(table[Year]))

 

or create a rank measure and filter at visual level for <=3
Rankx(allselected(table[Year]), calculate(sum(Table[Value])),,desc)

or


Rankx(filter(summarize(allselected(table),Table[Year], table[Area]), [Area] =max([Area])), calculate(sum(Table[Value])),,desc)

I have added the PBIX file with the example if you would like to have a look at the scenario 🙂
