Is it possible to create a drill through from this chart for 'Others' to a detail page where it shows details of data that belongs to this 'Others' category.? Thanks.

Is it possible to create "Others" In a live Connection?

I can't thank you enough on how you broke this down. I spent 2 days watching other videos, and it was so confusing. You did an amazing job explaining step by step in addition what and why we were doing what we were doing to get to where we needed to be. Thank you!!

[@JohnSullivan1]

Great video. The SQLBI video was excellent but this makes the concepts even easier to understand. Thank you Chandeep! Your videos are very well done.

[@tukaramjogdand7023]

This is the excellent example, step by step commentary provided. This weekend, I have spent my time to get solution on the same requirement and I would say this is the best video out of all the available on the KZbin. Great stuff Chandeep! Thank you and best of luck!

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.

@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

[@aspitball9343]

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.

[@sambrown4210]

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?

[@powerbinareal]

Legal

[@alicedwonderland7733]

Yep, without joining the pseudo table the Top N measure won't work.

[@Ravi-ce6th]

🙌🙌 thanks a lot sir, I seen some tutorials but no one explained this much easy and clear way. Tq😍

[@haleyalltheway]

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!

You are amazing sir,, I do not bore with your all videos. I want training for DAX.

[@KamilKurowski-pp6ny]

This is one of the best approaches. I still have one issue. If we want to use it with axis that has years, the TOPN is evaluated year by year which doesn't work when TopN is to be used as a legend. The legends will be inconsistent across years.

[@robertduncan5001]

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?

[@mnowako]

Excellent step by step tutorial and a great business case 👍. Thank you.

[@TD-mp5nf]

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!

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!!

[@sharadkumarpani7625]

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.

[@primolee2002]

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!

[@GoodlyChandeep]

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.
