bar chart show top5 but not sort by average

Hi,

 

I have following problem:

I will create a bar chart and this chart only show the top5-products which have the biggest sales volumne in the year 2017. In the chart I would like to see the sales amount for the year 2015 - 2017. The problem is , I see the top5-products on average the last  three years (2015-2017) in my chart.

 

How can I show it in the chart or it is not possible?

 

Thanks for your help

Hi @snoopyine,

 

Which column you use to apply top filter on visual?(sum of sales or max of sales?)

 

I'd like to suggest write a measure with specific summary mode of sales, then modify product filter to 'topn' and use measure as filter condition.

Notice:

1. You can also change summary mode of sales column to display with different summary mode.

2. Above sample may has the similar max value so it returns 6 result.
