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

I also want to use the Top N Filtering. I have a data column which varies daily/weekly. And I want my report to show only top 5 rows (in count). I cannot do manual filtering every time the data varies.
Can anyone help?

RE: Top N Filters

I would like to limit or filter graphs to show the top 10 customers, for example, or the bottom 10.

RE: Top N Filters

This is basic for Self BI. As a BI developer, I can create a metric. But for a business client that doesn't anything, this is basic.

RE: Top N Filters

As all my fellow posters, I agree... we need this very much. This is crucial when making meaningful reports

RE: Top N Filters

This is a really important feature that is missing that will make all sorts of things easier to do. Not only will it be useful for looking at tables of the top x things but it will also should allow an easy way to show the latest data as top 1 of dates should show the latest data point without having to worry about a DAX measure for this.
