    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.

    Best Regards,
    Angelia
