TopN values in each month

Hi,

 

I would like create TOP10 categories for the month, the expected results should be like below. In the below image the top10 of the month are highlighted in Blue color. In the month of october category "G" in top 10 list and in the november it is not in top10 so it is showing in grey color. The main objective is to show up top10 catgories of the month. I have tried the RANKX. still it is not working. Please provide solution for it.

hi, @shkabuzar

After my test, you could try this way:

Step1:

Use RANKX Function to create a measure

rank = RANKX(ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[Month]),CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Qty])),,DESC)

Step2:

Use Conditional formatting in Power bi

Right field Value choose Conditional formatting

In my simple case, i will show top2 values in red by month

 

Result:

here is pbix, please try it.
