    Hi Anonymous 

    To calculate Others you will need to create a Column with the expression like below.

     

     

    Rank Top 3 Products and Others = 
-- add this column to your customer table
VAR rnk = RANKX(
    'Product', -- replace with customer table
    CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Quantity])),,, -- amount column
    Dense
) <= 3
RETURN 
IF(rnk, FORMAT('Product'[Product Code], ""), "Others") -- replace Product Code with Customer

Thank you for your help! The code worked perfectly, but i just have some questions about the code itself for better understanding,

 

In the "Rank Top 3 Products and Others" code, what is the purpose of the FORMAT code?

 

In the "Rank Top Three Sales" code, why do you need the IF statement after RETURN if there is no ResultIfFalse?
 
Thank you.

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    FORMAT(123 ,"") will return 123 as text.
    IF without third argument will produce BLACK , when added to a visual it will produce only top 3.

     

    Hope this helps
