TopN

Hi everyone, I'm trying to rank some values, but I can't find the TopN option in the visual level filter. Any idea because why?     Kind regards

    1) Select the Column you want to display the Top Budgets of

     

    2) Then change the Filter Type of that Column to Top N

     

    3) Fill in Top / Bottom number field

     

    4) And lastly drag to the By Value filed your Budget Measure

     

    Good Luck! :smileyhappy:

     

    EDIT: Alternatively you can do this...

     

    1) Create a Rank Measure using your Budget Measure to Rank the Column values (same column as above)

     

    2) Add the Rank Measure in your table

     

    3) Then in the Visual Level Filters - select the Rank - Show items when value: - select is less than (or appropriate) and fill in number

     

    This has the advantage of also showing you the Rank Number

     

    Both methods will produce the same result though! :smileyhappy:

    Hi chrisgehm,

     

    You can specify that you’d like to filter by the Top or Bottom number of categories, sorted by a specific measure. You will find the Ton N filter in the filter pane as a Filter Type option for the category field you want to filter down.

     

    So this filter is for catefory column, not for measure column. In your scenario, please check if you can see the TOP N filter in your catefory column.

     

    Regards,
