Hi all
Think I might have gotten a bit rusty!
I need to show a table with months in the columns with the top 5 accounts in each. It could be, that the same account shows up twice since it is in the top 5 for more than one month.
This works well with a column with only one month, RANKX() does the job. But when I use it combination with multiple months, I cannot filter for TOPN in the Matrix visual.
See picture below what the end result should look like:
Anybody have an idea how to achieve this?
Tried a calculated table as well... but might be overkill?
Thanks for the help!

Hi @Anonymous ,
Do you mean that the top 5 accounts in mid-October will not appear in mid-November. Re-sort them?
Or the account that appeared in mid-October will also appear in the follow-up:
Measure =
var _rank=
RANKX(
FILTER(ALL('Table'),MONTH('Table'[Date])=MONTH(MAX('Table'[Date]))),
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount])),,DESC)
return
IF(
_rank <=5,MAX('Table'[Amount]) ,BLANK())
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data. We can better understand the problem and help you.
