is there a way to prevent the top N visual filter from affecting a measure within the visual

Basically I have a visual that I am applying a Top N visual filter on

 

however within this visual, there is a measure that I want calculated that includes all filters (slicers, row) except this Top N visual filter

Hi @ukeasyproj,

 

You apply a Top N visual filter on your visual, but you don't want a measure on the visual to obey the Top N visual filter? Could you be more precisely with that?

 

I just feel a little confused.Smiley LOLIt's better to post some sample data with your expected result or share a sample pbix file.

 

Regards

Hi  @v-ljerr-msft  ,

 

My data is set up as follows:

 

Portfolio id |   Project id | Hours Logged| Entry Date

------------------------------------------------------------------

Core           | test proj 1     | 5                    | Jan 1st 2017

------------------------------------------------------------------

Core           | test proj 1    | 10                    | Jan 1st 2017

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Core           | test proj 2   | 10                    | Jan 1st 2017

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Corporate   | test proj 3  | 10                    | Jan 2nd 2017

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Corporate   | test proj 4  | 10                    | Jan 2nd 2017

Basically a given project can only be associated with only one portfolio

There are many projects associated with a portfolio

A project can have many hours logged entries on a given day

 

I am using the topN visual filter on the visual to display the top 3 projects with the most logged hours for a given portfolio as follows:

 

temp2.PNG

 

temp 3.PNG

 

The measure I am trying to create is a percentage calculation:   Total hours logged for that given project/Total hours for that given portfolio

 

total hours logged for that given project is just SUM(Hours Logged)

 

total hours for that given portfolio should be a measure that is filtered by the portfolio and entry date slicer but not the TopN visual filter

 

this is what I originally had but does not work in this case:  

 

Total Hours Logged for portfolio = CALCULATE(SUM(TimeEntries[Hours Logged]) , ALLSELECTED())

 

Percentage = SUM([Hours Logged])/[Total Hours Logged]

 

 

I have uploaded a sample CSV file with some data if it helps:

@v-ljerr-msft was my explanation clear enough?
