I have a table visual with multiple categorical columns (Sponsor ID, Online Name, Subscriber ID, Last Name, Remit Center, Status) and descending sorted by Payment Amount as shown below. I would like to list top 50 lines, how may I do it? The "Top N" filter is good when there is only 1 categorical column. But it doesn't work as expected with multiple categorical columns.
Thanks.
@bergen288 , Try like
2 column top N = CALCULATE([Net], TOPN(10, SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED('Item'), 'Item'[Brand], 'Item'[Category]), [Net],DESC),VALUES('Item'[Brand]), VALUES('Item'[Category]) )
or
2 column top N = CALCULATE([Net], keepfilters( TOPN(10, SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED('Item'), 'Item'[Brand], 'Item'[Category]), [Net],DESC) ) )

I tried a simple table with 2 categorical columns first. Below is my measure based on your 2nd suggestion:
