Top 5 and Bottom 5 in same table

Previous solutions don't seem to work so I need some clearer guidance I think. Below is what I want the results to look like

I have ranked a set of products by RSV and a YoY rank change. I want to show the top 5 and bottom 5 in a single table of 11 rows (title and 10 products).

In the above example I have just created two tables, used a Top N filter and hidden the column headers of the bottom table. This is obviously not the best way to go about it so if anyone can help me create this, I would be very appreciative.

@george_o0802 you can easily achieve this by adding following measure:

 

Top Bottom = 
VAR __Products = 
FILTER ( 
    ADDCOLUMNS ( 
        SUMMARIZE ( 
            ALLSELECTED ( Products[Product] ), 
            Products[Product] 
        ), 
        "@Sale", [Sales] 
    ), 
    NOT ISBLANK ( [@Sale] ) 
)  
RETURN
CALCULATE ( 
    [Sales],
    KEEPFILTERS ( 
        UNION (
            TOPN ( 5, __Products, [@Sale], ASC ),
            TOPN ( 5, __Products, [@Sale] )
        )
    )
)

You're a wizard. Thank you.

Just so I can understand how it works a bit better as I'm relatively new to power bi and dax, I have a couple of questions.

1) Why do we put @ symbols in front of the embedded measures?


2) For whatever reason, all other titles that are not in the top 5 or bottom 5 are coming up with a rank change of 53. Why is this? It's simple enough as I can just filter out any value that is 53 but I was just curious why this was coming up and if this is a by product of something you have done here?

Previous solutions related to line charts and scatter graphs and I couldn't seem to get them to work in this table form.
