Top N Filter Not Working
I have a data set where I am calculating the variance of budgeted hours vs actual hours. I then want to filter for the top 10 over (bottom N) and underages (top N) by project number. When I filter for bottom N the table populates. When I filter for top N the table does not populate. Does someone have insight to how I can fix this? Attached is an example of my data set
Hi rstoll,
If you just filter a visual, you should use visual level filters. If you want to filter the entire page, you should use the report level filters. Please see:Add a filter to a Power BI report.
When you select TopN filters, you must add a field to the "By Value" level. From your screenshot, I didn't see it, so please check it as the highlighted in yellow backgroud.
If you want to get underages (top N), you can create a calculated column to descending order, then use the new column to filter.
