My pie chart shows the percentage of each job title based on count. I only want to show the top 5 though, and I want everything else to be show in something called "Other". I want this to be dynamic, meaning the top 5 could change if I uploaded new data.
AFAIK, it is not supported in a visual setting, but you can create a calculated column as a workaround.
category_ =
IF (
CONTAINS (
TOPN (
3,
SUMMARIZE ( 'table', 'table'[category], "cnt", COUNTA ( 'table'[category] ) ),
[cnt], DESC
),
'table'[category], 'table'[category]
),
'table'[category],
"other"
)
