Power BI for Data Analytics

Now, let's understand the next Power BI Topic
*Top N in Power BI*
The Top N feature is used to display only the top (or bottom) values based on a measure—like Top 5 products by sales or Bottom 10 customers by revenue.
*Why Use Top N?*
- Focus the viewer’s attention on key performers or underperformers.
- Reduce clutter in visuals with too many categories.
*How to Create Top N in Power BI*
Step-by-step:
1. Add a visual, e.g., a bar chart with Product Name and Total Sales.
2. Drag the categorical field (e.g., Product) into the Filters pane.
3. Select “Top N” filter type.
4. Choose:
- Top or Bottom
- Number of items (e.g., 5, 10)
- Based on which measure (e.g., Total Sales)
5. Click Apply Filter.
*Dynamic Top N Using Slicer (Advanced)*
You can also let users choose the N value dynamically:
1. Create a “Top N” table with values like 5, 10, 15.
2. Create a measure that ranks categories using RANKX.
3. Use ISINSCOPE or FILTER logic to show only values with rank ≤ selected N.
This setup enhances interactivity and personalization in reports.
*Use Cases*
- Top 10 regions by profit.
- Bottom 5 products by customer rating.
- Top 3 salespeople this quarter.
*Best Practice:* Always label your visuals clearly (e.g., “Top 10 Products by Revenue”) to avoid confusion.
