Hello Experts,
I've been through the boards and drudged up this PLUS OTHERS for use with HIGHEST. Thought it was grand for my top n report, but the default layout isn't what I was hoping for.

This is the layout I want:

Sales Office
$500 Detroit
$300 Chicago
$200 Miami
$400 Other

I've been playing with it and this is as close as I can get to the required layout:

 
TABLE FILE SALES_TOT
PRINT SALES OFFICE
BY HIGHEST 3 SALES NOPRINT
PLUS OTHERS as 'Other'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF


If I use the code as above, it places the other in the fourth row as I'd intended, but it then puts the fourth sales office on the 'Other' line.

Let me know if a CAR example would help. thanks in advance.

Good:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT SEATS MODEL
BY HIGHEST 3 SALES
PLUS OTHERS AS 'OTHERS'
END

Bad:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT SALES SEATS MODEL
BY HIGHEST 3 SALES NOPRINT
PLUS OTHERS AS 'OTHERS'
END

Hi John,

Here's a way to do this without using the "PLUS OTHERS" feature.

This shows you the top 3 countries from the CAR file based on RETAIL_COST.

-*
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RETAIL_COST
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS HLD_SUM
END
-*
TABLE FILE HLD_SUM
PRINT
COUNTRY
COMPUTE TOP_RNK/I5 = IF TOP_RNK LT 3 THEN TOP_RNK + 1 ELSE 99999;
COMPUTE TOP_DSC/A10 = IF TOP_RNK LE 3 THEN COUNTRY ELSE 'OTHER';
BY HIGHEST RETAIL_COST
ON TABLE HOLD AS HLD_RNK
END
-*
TABLE FILE HLD_RNK
SUM RETAIL_COST
BY TOP_RNK NOPRINT
BY TOP_DSC AS 'COUNTRY'
END
-EXIT

I can see some value for the plus others in certain situations - just not what I'm trying to acheive this time around.

the best 'plus others' can offer is not ideal:
  
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT SALES MODEL
BY HIGHEST 3 SALES
PLUS OTHERS AS 'OTHERS'
END



But Jim that's a great solution...and likely the way I'll end up going with it. Thanks for your help.

With a bit of manipulation, you can use PLUS, if you hold the results.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT SALES MODEL
BY HIGHEST 3 SALES AS 'RANK'
PLUS OTHERS AS 'OTHERS'
ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
ON TABLE HOLD AS TMP_DATA FORMAT ALPHA
END

TABLE FILE TMP_DATA
SUM COMPUTE OTHERS/I9 = MAX.E04 ; NOPRINT
PRINT COMPUTE TMODEL/A24 = IF OTHERS EQ E04 THEN 'OTHERS' ELSE MODEL ; AS MODEL
      SALES
BY E04 NOPRINT
END


Waz...
