Top salesperson

Hi all,

 

Another simple ask.

 

In the service (so no DAX) I am trying to show the top sales person by region. I have all the measures I need, but it seems impossible to use the Top N. Each region has about 10 sales people and I have 10 regions, I want to show the top sales person from each region. Selecting the region as a filter with Top N (1) based on sales variance simply gives me 3 values all from the region, none of which make any sense.

 

Any idea's?

    Hi MattN4

    Do you want to show the top 1 sales person from each region?

    If you create a rank measure, than you can filter the "rank" to show values of 1.

     

    Below is my example.

     

    Best Regards

    Maggie

      Many thanks this worked.

       

      Just to add, I added DENSE to the end of formula. This was because in my table I had both positive and negative values. The postive values were fine, the negative values showed out of sequence. DENSE resolved this (but don';t ask me how!).
