I'm developing my first Power BI Desktop app (v2.1), I've added a table visualization that has 78 rows and I'd like to limit the number of rows to 20 and have the data spread across multiple columns, is this possible?

I have two tables:
TABLE 1
Zone
Proj.
Alpha
22
Gamma
23
TABLE 2
Zone
Real
Kappa
37
Gamma
25
I am pivoting these tables side by side for contrasting the difference between projection and real values. Now, I want both of these pivots to contain the union of Zones found in both the sheets and fill corresponding Sales with something like N.A. or 0, if not found in the respective source.
PIVOT 1
Zone
Proj.
Alpha
22
Gamma
23
Kappa
N.A.
PIVOT 2
Zone
Real
Alpha
N. A
Gamma
25
Kappa
37
I am aware of LOOKUP etc. (or LEFT JOINS using ETL tools) but looking at a "cleaner" and "easier" option.
Use-case: I have two tables—one with annual sales data of about a few thousand sales agents and another with their predictions, as generated last year—but the prediction table lacks rows for 6-7 customers in the second table. So, when I pivot both on the same worksheet, the visual harmony gets disturbed once a missing row is encountered.
I have results from a survey. The first pivot table breaks down the responses by age group and language.
The third pivot table counts how many of the respondents have access to a computer, tablet, cell phone. For example, 13 Chinese respondents age 18-49 have access to a computer, which is 50% of the 26 total Chinese/18-49 respondents. And then 16 of Chinese/18-49 have access to a tablet, which is 62% of the total Chinese/18-49 respondents, and so on.
I manually calculated/used a formula (=IF($B5="", "", J5/$B5 for Chinese/18-49 w/ Computers) the percentages in the last table, but is there a way to do it via pivot table?
I've tried looking at the Analyze -> Fields, Items & Sets tool but can't figure this out.
I'd like to do it by pivot table so that it can refresh if there are any new survey results, like one with a new language.
Thank you!
I have an Excel data that shows the Sales of each of the Sales Reps. So I want to see the total for each rep per month which is easily doable with a PivotTable. Now I want the Pivot Table to only show the Top 5 per month so say I have 2 months in the coverage, I will see 10 names in total.
The Top filter in Pivot Tables computes for the Top for the entire data set and not for each category. Or am I missing something? Is it possible?
Thanks a lot for your responses.
You can make a measure if you connect your data to the datemodel and use PowerPivot
Rigth click on table to add Measure
That will enable you to use DAX i Excel (used in Power BI) And by using DAX you can make a top 5 per categori

I am using the excel's pivot table to sort and filter data from Super Store Dataset from tableau . Here is a screen shot of my output.
The steps that I followed are:
a. Put Order Date in the Rows.
b. Put Sub-Category in the Columns.
c. Put the Profit in the Sum of Values.
After that I took these steps:
d. Sort the Grand Total of the Sub Category from largest to smallest.
e. Sort the Grand Total of Order Date from largest to smallest.
f. Filter Top 3 from the Sub-Category.
g. Filter Top 10 from the Order Date.
And the above image of an excel sheet shows my output.
Now the problem is , even though the excel sheet was supposed to show me the top 10 orders , it only manages to show 7 to 8 orders. The rest 2 to 3 of them are either blank or should not even belong to the top 10 category.
Does anybody knows why is this happening. And how can this be prevented.
Thanks.
Edit: This is how the top 15 looks like :
I believe top 10 is based on the vertical Grand Total and it should also be a subset of the top 15.
And this is the top 20 :
It looks like this is caused by opening the .xls workbook in Compatibility Mode. This means that Version 10 pivot tables are created, which have different filtering functionality to the later, Version 12 Pivot Tables.
Change the workbook to an upgraded file format (.xlsx), and refresh your pivot tables - you'll get an interesting message informing you of the changes made to Top 10 filtering, and then the multiple Top N filters will apply correctly:
Here's some more information about Pivot Table versions / compatibility, from Microsoft
I have created some pivot tables which shows sales of PC from different brands for multiple years. for example 2013 PC sales of dell,HP,Apple etc...
Now I want to compare these sales but I just want to compare top 10 results...I am trying to create a table which will show only the top ten values from the pivot table. I dont want to filter the pivot table to top 10 values.
Thanks and Regards
If you have to create your output as a table without filtering the pivot table, you can use cube functions. Create a cubeset that is all PC brands and order them by PC Sales. Create cubrankedmember functions for positions 1 through 10. Then write a cubevalue formula next to each cuberankedmember to retrieve the associated value. If you want to post a little more about your data model, I could write more specific cube function formulas.
