Create a filter that allows me to say 'Show the top N categories by value', e.g. 'Top 5 countries by sales'

I'm very pleased to say we've just released the ability to add TopN filters to your visuals in our October update.

RE: Top N Filters

Have the ability to easily show only the top N rows in a visualization.
Options : which measure to look at, define N number of rows, group all others in one single row.

RE: Top N Filters

Yes you can do this with Measure but would be nice if filter could just do it for you like in a Pivot Table in Excel.

RE: Top N Filters

Agreed. Filtering by "TOP" with an "Order By" would be most helpful.

RE: Top N Filters

Similar to the Excel Top 10 Feature which only shows the top 100/10/5 items from a table in the visualization.

RE: Top N Filters

Do you like bypass? If yes you gonna use RANKX. Top N is a stright feature for report users for which reports are created.

RE: Top N Filters

Some calculated fields may help? See http://ayadshammout.com/2013/02/19/dax-rankx-function-scenarios/

RE: Top N Filters

We should have an ability to filter dataset on the report to show only for example top 5 records. In our scenario where we want to show top 5 queries sorted by execution time, we are able to prepare a table visualization, which shows all queries and their execution time, but not finding an option to filter top 5 queries based on execution time.
