Table "Top N" limitation order with multiple criteria?

[william_fu]

I'm using the "Top/Bottom N" limitation feature on a table as a ranking based on a measure.

My issue is that this specific measure causes a lot of ties, and I want to use a second measure as a tiebreaker for this ranking - is this possible?

Hi,

yes, can you share mock data and expected output in excel format.

Hi Dev,

Attached the sample data and desired table.

I noticed that Qlik sorts by the second measure automatically if you add it to the table, but I'm not 100% sure.

Hi,

try below method,

1) try to create calculated measure and suppress null value for this Cal.dimension

=IF(Aggr(Rank(SUM(Rating),4),NroProposta)<=5,NroProposta)

2)  using set analysis

SUM({<NroProposta = {"=Rank(SUM(Rating),4)<=5"}>}[Vl Operacao])

3) using set analysis with sort

aggr( SUM({<NroProposta = {"=Rank(SUM(Rating),4)<=5"}>}[Vl Operacao])

  , (NroProposta, (=Sum({<NroProposta>}[Vl Operacao]), DESC)))

Hi,

another method, using back end script

Hi Deva,

I didn't mention that "Rating" is already a set analysis expression - I tried substituting SUM(Rating) with my measure, but I couldn't figure out the syntax for methods 2 and 3.

Here is the expression for Rating:

Sum({$<IndAprovacao={'S'}>} PdDesembolso * VlOperacao)

/

Sum({$<IndAprovacao={'S'}>} VlOperacao)

And here are the results from the first method - the highlighted values should still take priority in the top 5.

Thanks,

Hi devarasu07‌,

I ended up using the solution in this thread, adding a very tiny fraction of my second measure to the original one. Ranking in case of tie breaker with respect to other metrics

Thank you for your time.
