My brother, I just had a major breakthrough while watching this video for the second time. Using the instructions you graciously provided, I may have just came up with a design for my companies sales team that will prove to have major benefits across the entire department. Thank you so very much for explaining this concept in an easy to understand way. I love your tone and cadence. So much information is so easily taken in. You are awesome.
In your data model, join the pseudo table to the main table that it was built from. The calculation/measure to sum or count will use that main table. Once that join is there, from the pseudo table to the main table (1:M) then you should be good. If not, look for errors. For example, it didn't work at first for me because I defined by 'Other' category as 'Other' instead of 'Others'. When it came to the Top N measure I used what I saw which was 'Others'. Oops. When I changed that to 'Other' then it worked. Nice job by the creator but also nice feedback from the community to fill in the gaps.
I have linked my pseudo table to the main table but I still cannot get the topN function to get the total sales figure to show up. What am I doing wrong?
This is an excellent video and perfect illustration. Step by step with no errors. I mean excellent and what I was looking for. Goodly, you have yourself a customer. I will be buying your DAX course, by the grace of God this week.....
@goodlychandeep you're a godsend. I'm prepping for an interview, needing to know this very thing. You have an excellent method of teaching and I am learning a lot. I knew how to do this on excel and SQL but not PowerBI
Hi! Many thanks for this video! I love the way you explain all aspects. 😊 Would it be possible for you to show how to set up the formula to get correct totals if we want to show tabular view? Right now the total is the sum of top N 😢
Thanks so much! This video let me see hope in a situation I'm trying to tackle. In addition to put the non-selected items to Others group, I already have an "Others" item in the product list(in my case it’s a brand list) and I need this Others to always be pushed to as part of the bigger Others. Also, I need to create an extra item, which is the sum of certain two brands, and also show its position alongside with the two of its components. For the bigger Others and this summed item, both their rank need to be blank. But for display order, the bigger Others needs to be place at the end while the summed item appears in accordance with its position. And the dynamic interactions with the slicers also needed. I sort of done this (for a fixed Top N number) through power query by separately making the components I need (the bigger Others, the Top Ns, the summed brands, and the Grand total, and then append them together as the final result. But I’m thinking if this is even possible in Power BI? Would be so grateful for any suggestions on the thinking direction!
Its not one product left. Its when each row acts as a filter when we drag TOP N sum then it means that there is one value that it has. So one value would always be among the top 3 or bottom three or any three or max three anything . Hence it is giving the sales amount of that particular value in product column.
Thanks Chandeep! This solution works well. I have tried to adapt it to calculate top performers for the next level of granularity. I have an Agent Table in my model. Some Individual agents may be part of different networks (next level of granularity). I produced measures to calculate top performing networks. When doing so, the agents who do not belong to any network were added to "Others". I am struggling with the ranking measure though, to have the "others" bar at the bottom. I would be very grateful for your help with this!
Spell bound. How a complex problem solved with ease. And , the way you explained each step is super. Keep enriching us with your great ideas. How can we get the top product of the current year and show its trend over the years?
Super Helpful Video -- How would adjust this to rollup correctly in a matrix? Currently, I am getting this to show only values of the top values and not the "others"
Really appreciate this video. Sadly I fell down at the 15:45 mark because the Others Category does not appear for me if I try and filter the data using another connected table.
Thanks a lot your work is great. can you share one video for chart formatting and full report formatting. if possible please share all element formatting video.
Thank you Chandeep it was a great video. I have a requirement like one table and one slicer slicer values like A, B, C if I click a then display b+c values and if I click b then a+c values like that...
Hi! Thank it did work but I have a question, what if in the top 3 I want to exclude 2 of the products that are there, but in the sum of "Others" I do want them in there?
Hi! Thanks for the amazing tutorial. It is really very well explained. However, I am stuck at creating an area chart with TopN + Others and using it in the legend, can you please help me out here?
This is a great video and was very helpful to me. However I think the video misses out the need to connect the newly created table of products with the extra "Others" line item added, to the existing original table of products, using a one ( from the new pseudo table to many relationship relationship ( on the original table). Otherwise the Top N calculations simply don't work as your employing measures on a fact table that need to be filtered by a dimension coming via the original products table. I employed your technique to create an "Others" total for a sales by Customers table, my use case was a little more extreme as I had multiple business units I needed to filter down as well on the Topn dimension , plus I was using switch formulas to move between different Metric Qtys, ( ie Sales $ and Sales Kg and Avg Prices) rather than working on a products table but the nonetheless same ideas held. However I could not get the technique to work until I had connected the new "psuedo" table to the original table using a one to many relationship. This doesn't appear to be addressed in the video and the video leaves the impression after creating the new psuedo table you can dive straight in and create new measures employing the psuedo table, and you can but they simply wont work until you connect up the tables.
No worries mate, I am subscribed to your channel now. Thanks again for a great video, happy I could help out a little and pick up a minor issue. Shows me my learnings of dax are starting to improve :)
Thank you very much, very good solution however I have a problem. When selecting a top, 2 for example, if the two dimensions cover 100%, the "Others" bar will still appear, but with a value of 0. Can it be prevented from appearing? It also appears at No. 1 according to the order of the ranking.
Hi, thank you so much for this video!! I followed all your steps and everything adds up perfectly. I also added the relationship, but the sum of my Grand total is incorrect, it give me the total of TopProdSales . Could someone please advice.. 😊
For someone that might have this issue in the future.. Here is what worked for me. Replace the Return statement with this: RETURN IF( HASONEFILTER('Pseudo Prod Table'[Product]), IF( CurrentProd "Others", TopProdSales, OtherSales ), TopProdSales + OtherSales )
Why the total value changed when user selected 1,2,3,4, or 5 products. My understanding is the total value should be constant regardless of no. of products selected. Please correct me if i am wrong. TIA
Thanks Chandeep for this amazing video. (Already seen Sqlbi masters alberto)..but you have great explanation 👍. Could you show how this pseudo table is connected with sales table?
HI, Thanks for this. Can we make the category dynamic by field parameter instead of product, we can choose Shade, Category, Customer, State etc on the report like top n days?
When i use this dax function iam facing an issue. When two or more values are same it is considering those values as one and showing all values. What i want is only it shoud show top 5 records even values are same. How to achive it
How can I create top n and others in heirarchy For ex Country top n City top n Region top n Ranged by variance And other values in this metrics are security price ,market value
Hi Chandeep ... I am having trouble replicating this .. I keep getting an error statting that A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected .. would you be able to help me troubleshoot this?
Hi! In a scenario, a product and category both are in same table.

Hi Sir - Thank you very much for this amazing video. One question. How do I let power BI recognize the list of categories and other information (like in my case i have customer, contract per customer and hours by employees) from that OTHER list combined? every time I click others on my chart, the total cards will show only blank.
Thanks for the video. Can you please advice , I am able to get the Clustered chart for top 5products+Others but I need a Stacked Chart with the split of each bar for Top 5 Products eg:Top1,Top2.... to be splinted on the basis of Model Name according to the Dataset you have provided.
HI, Excellent tutorial, thank you. What if I needed to find out how many times a product appeared in TOPN, for example in 2004? Let's say I evaluate TOPN on a weekly basis. I can't create a virtual table and then view the result. The visual obviously has a problem with the summarize and summarize columns functions. Is there a solution?
This is great help, thanks! Could you please tell me if there is a way to show this bar chart in 2 layers, first layer is like what you show, then the second layer shows what products are in "Others"? Thank you so much in advance!
One easy way is to create a table with Products and Total Sales. When you filter Others on the chart you'll see all the rest of the products and their sales values.
NOTE - The Pseudo Prod Table is linked to the Product Table >> Product Name Column (One to Many Relationship).

Awesome video but I'm stuck on one point, your Total Sales parameter. Can you explain how you built the parameter?
18:14 Thanks a million. But do you know if there is a way to also calculate the totals correctly?
Have you managed to find the solution? 😢
@@annaokarmus1334 nope. Not yet
@@andrestricker4118 thanks :( struggling with the same!
This is a great guide and clear however is there a way to add additional slicers from other tables that will still show the "Others" on the chart?

You are a legend! I've been stuck with this for days and you solved my problem! Thank you a lot!!!!
Glad it helped!
Amazing video. really useful and intellectual idea
Glad you like this Vishnu!
One Suggestion! You can also use what-if parameter for topn value selection. In that case you wouldn't require a separate table for slicer!!
How do you add other measures such as profit as another column in such a chart? How would you go about creating that measure?
Thanks, great help! How can we show the grand total to include the "others" in its sum?
Really appreciate this video. Sadly I fell down at the 15:45 mark because the Others Category does not appear for me if I try and filter the data using another connected table.
