In this blog, I’ll show you how to create a fully dynamic Top N visual in Power BI, where you can display the top products (or any category you choose) and roll everything else into an “Others” category. You’ll see how to make it work with a slicer so users can pick the number of top items they want to see, and the visual updates instantly without any hardcoding.
We’ll cover techniques like using TOPN, KEEPFILTERS, dynamic measures, and handling totals so you can display Top N totals, Other totals, and overall totals all in the same visual. I’ll also share some formatting tricks to make your table look cleaner and more like a polished Excel report, including conditional formatting bars and blank row spacing.
By the end, you’ll know how to build a Top N visual that’s not only dynamic but also flexible enough to handle real-world reporting needs in Power BI.
