I'm pretty sure you  just have to turn it around and use a switch statement like

%Top 30 = Switch (true(), ranking<=30, calculate(sum(sales))

You might not need the true( ) expression but, that is a place to start and it would allow you room to calculate the others as well I think.

Hi, thank you for answering. Power BI allowed me to calculate the measure but it showed the total amount of sales.

 

Facturación = sum('BBDD UTMS'[Total Neto Faena USD]) ; total amount= $ 25.335.100

 
Ranking = RANKX(ALL('BBDD UTMS'[Cliente Madre]);CALCULATE(sum('BBDD UTMS'[Total Neto Faena USD])))
 
TOP 30 = SWITCH(TRUE();[Ranking]<=30;[Facturación]); total amount= $25.335.100 and it should be $21.386.471
 
What should I do?
 
Thank you :)

    I'm not totally sure, It seems like it's just not pulling out the ranked as it's supposed to. I would try using ALLSELECTED instead of ALL in your ranking measure.

      Changing to allselected didn't work :( Thank you for answering, though :)

        I'm looking at this again, I think the rank formula is not quite right.

         

        Try replacing the Calculate portion with your measure for the sum of sales.

         

        I hope that works for you.
