Action Filter on a Top N Worksheet where Top N is a Parameter

Tam Nguyen Apr 22, 2016 5:18 PM

Hello,

I've a question on using action filter on a top N worksheet where top N is a parameter. I was able to do this only if the second worksheet is a top 10 where top 10 is a fixed number. The question is how to add a top N parameter and make it work. Attached is the sample workbook.

Thanks

hi Tam,

Here you go...you were 99% there!

I added the following calculated field
[Top N Filter]
[rank]<=[Parameters].[Top N Customers]

and then brought this onto the filter shelf and set to true (with the compute using advanced, with sort, as you had for your [rank] measure.
