Add others options to TopN Filter

Add "Others" option to the current TopN feature. That would greatly advance user experience as it allows to compress the data set, highlight the most important insights (e.g. Top 5 Sales), but still gives an overview of all of the data.

Agreed, I have data with 25 categories, but I only want to see 5 slices in a pie chart and group the smaller slices into "other". Currently I can only see all 25 slices and it's not usable.

There are other registered ideas that are almost the same as this one. This uncontrolled idea submitting option is not efficient. I think this is a really important feature but because of the inefficient registration does not get the votes it deserves (now its fragmented). I think you should combine this idea with TOP X functionality. I wrote before: Another suggestion addition to this: the option to make an "other" category. So lets say you want a top 5, you also get the option for a 6th record that summarizes all other categories into 1 "other" category. That way you can better see the composition / distribution of the data.

In a similar vane 80/20 filtering is a good way of cleaning up dataset categories with high cardinality but where most data relates to a relatively small subset of category members. i.e. only the top 20 percent of members are shown with the remaining 80 percent rolled up into a single "Other" category.

This could easily be used in other visualizations including bar charts, highly agree!

Please, please, please.... we need this. Creating a measure to accomplish basic need is killing performance. Salesforce report builder has a check box to group smaller slices! Microsoft we need this!
