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

This feature is necessary. The RANKX approach is useless if you are using Direct Query, which many real world solutions will because of data sources like Azure SQL Data Warehouse.

RE: Top N Filters

We need this ASAP. Qlik and other tools already have this easy way to filter data.

RE: Top N Filters

also, do bottom N as well, or better yet, allow one to sort

RE: Top N Filters

You can do that with DAX so I don't thing that this is a high priority feature..

RE: Top N Filters

Top % and Bottom % would also be helpful!

RE: Top N Filters

ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NEED Top N and 'Rest' as all others ASAP!!!! This is holding back full corporate adoption!!!!!!

RE: Top N Filters

I agree. Having a top 10, top 20, or even
a top "fill in the blank" would speed up report development. Thank you!
