DAX Top N Sales (Incl. Others) Measure

Keeps the top N items visible and preserves the grand total, so a chart can add an "Others" bucket for the rest.

Ranking and Top NAdvancedtop nothersbucketgrouping

DAX code

Top N Sales (Incl. Others) =
VAR TopCount = 5
VAR CurrentRank = [Rank by Sales]
RETURN
    IF(
        HASONEVALUE('Product'[ProductName]),
        IF(CurrentRank <= TopCount, [Total Sales], BLANK()),
        [Total Sales] -- keeps the grand total row intact so a chart's "Others" slice can be its remainder
    )

Notes

This measure alone hides non-top-N products at the row level while keeping the grand total correct. To actually label the rest "Others" on a chart axis, pair it with a calculated column that groups everything outside the top N under one text value.

Requirements

The Rank by Sales measure.
Typically paired with a calculated column for the "Others" axis label.
