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.

RE: Add others options to TopN Filter

It also looks like there are a number of similar requests that are splitting the voting - this is more needed than this simple number indicates!

RE: Add others options to TopN Filter

This point is really interesting and needing to cover the 100% of the data.
I frequentely have this request.

Only advanced user can produce a measure in DAX but there is limited possibilities.
This option should be automatically present to have a better overview.

RE: Add others options to TopN Filter

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.
