Showing All Values when Top N Filter Results In Less Than N Values
Published: 22 Feb 2013 Last Modified Date: 09 Dec 2022
Issue
When you apply a Top N filter to a view that uses a second filter, the updated view does not produce the expected Top N result.
For example, in Superstore Sample data, you have a filter on Sub-Category showing Top 5 by Sales, and then filter by Region. The same 5 subcategories will display regardless of which region is selected.
Environment
Tableau Desktop
Resolution
Option 1: Add the Second Filter to Context
On the Filters shelf, right-click the second filter, and then select Add to Context. In the Superstore example above, you would add Region to context. For more information, see Creating Context Filters in Tableau Help.
