Show Top N without filtering data

I would like to only visually show the top N results of this visual:

to look more like this: 

 

I can't use the top N filter because the dotted lines are dynamic and will change when the top N filter is used. 

 

Is there a way to show a few legend values without filtering the data?

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    I think you use Min line, Max line,Average line, Median line in Analytics. They are dynamic based on data in your visual. If you filter your data by Top N function, they will change. Here I suggest you to create measures to calculate the value you need with All function and then use Y-Axis Constant Line in Analytics.

    Here is my test.

    They are dynamic when I use Top N.

    Create measures as below.

    Avg = AVERAGEX(ALL(Sheet20),Sheet20[Value])
    Max = MAXX(ALL(Sheet20),Sheet20[Value])

    ...

  • What is your definition of "top N" for this scenario?  A max value, largest average, something else?  Is that something that needs to be calculated via a measure or can it be done via calculated column?
