Pivot Table - Filter on Top 20

In Excel 2016 I'm trying to filter on a pivot table to include only the top 20 accounts (coming from a very large cube containing 20,000 + account IDs).

I know it is very easy to filter on top 10, by simply clicking on Value Filters and choosing to include only Top 10. I was hoping there may be a similar way to include instead the top 20. Right now, I am just manually highlighting the top 20 rows and then right-clicking/including only those accounts. The problem is that any time the pivot refreshes I then have to unselect those and manually re-select the new top 20, which takes a lot of time given the size of the data set.

Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated!

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
I'm using excel 2007 (and occasionally 2010 ) , never used 2016 but I'm sure you can still do this in 2016

"top 10" is just a STARTING POINT . select the "top 10" option . then in the box that comes up change the default "10" to "20" (you can show the top "any number you like" items .. ; you could show the "bottom"any number you like too)

In my pivot table I am showing the top 15

Oh wow....thank you! Yes, that is exactly what I was looking for. I can't believe I didn't realize that you can change the default 10 to any number. :)
