I have a series of line charts, which show the last 5 quarters on the x axis and market share by brand on the y axis
my question is that I have around 50 brands and I only want to show the top 5.
However if I select Top 5 in the Visual Filter, the market share becomes the market share of the top 5 total and not the actual market or Grand Total - which is rather annoying in my humble opinion not correct
I'm assuming at his point I need to have a Total for each chart calculated somewhere and used somehow to produce the market share rather than using the Show Values as Percent of Grand Total - which is confusingly labelled.
Any help here would be welcome, I'm sure someone must have come across this issue and solved it

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
