Beast Mode for Top 20 then Other
I am creating a table to rank sales by each company for the last 3 years and totalling the revenue.
I would like to show in a table the Top 20 companies by Total 3yr Revenue with the remaining companies aggregated in a row named "Other" rather than the individual company names.
I was trying a beast mode to rank each company by their individual total revenue divided by the total revenue for the entire dataset for a percentage, but I can't seem to get it to work.
Please help! I know how to do this with properties in a pie chart, but not in a table.
Thank you in advance!
Example table:
| Company | 2015 Rev | 2016 Rev | 2017 Rev | Total Rev |
| Co A | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $3,000.00 |
| Co B | $900.00 | $900.00 | $900.00 | $2,700.00 |
| Co C | $800.00 | $800.00 | $800.00 | $2,400.00 |
| Co D | $700.00 | $700.00 | $700.00 | $2,100.00 |
| Co E | $600.00 | $600.00 | $600.00 | $1,800.00 |
| Other | $5,000.00 | $5,000.00 | $5,000.00 | $15,000.00 |
| TOTAL | $9,000.00 | $9,000.00 | $9,000.00 | $27,000.00 |

As stated here there is afaik no way to create or check a rank that is not already in the data by using Beast Mode - MySQL (which Beast Mode is based on) does not have these sort of partition functions, which is one of the most limiting factors. A new stable version should be released soon-ish and then eventually Domo will update. Whenever that will be exactly is anyone's guess.
There are workarounds - add a rank to your dataset via a dataflow like this in ETL or like this in a MySQL dataflow based on your 2017 revenue and then just beastmode something like
case when `rank` <= 20 then `rank` else 'Other' end
and format the table to your liking, using the SUM aggregation for the fields.

Trying to do the same thing. Is there an updated solution to this that doesn't require the ETL to be updated?

No. You can implement in a DSV (dataset view) but there is no native way in analyzer.
