[SOLVED] How to display top number of records in the report

Hello,

Can anyone tell me if there's a syntax on how to filter top 5 records in the report after I created a compute field that is sorted by highest? I tried doing a retrieval limit on the report but the report is showing the top 5 records instead of the top 5 records with highest value on computed field...

Thanks!

If I recall correctly, if there are muliple records with the same value, then you'll get the top # records not the top # values. Or, if in the case of TOP 5, the 5th and 6th records have the same value, then you'll not see the 6th record. Play with it to verify...

Caveat: Unless something has changed or addional logic is introduced to handle this situation or something has changed in a newer release..

Thanks, everyone! Smiler

I was able to do a tabular sort on the field I wanted sorted by highest...I had to do a sum on the column and did average then set limit to retrieve top 5.

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
SUM
realTime
AVE.over2Hrs
BY TOTAL HIGHEST 5 over2Hrs NOPRINT
BY LOWEST puCity
BY puState
ON TABLE SUBHEAD
"Live Loading Detail"
WHERE over2Hrs GT 0;
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE HOLD AS WEEKLYSUMMARY
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE = endeflt,
$
TYPE=TABHEADING,
LINE=1,
JUSTIFY=LEFT,
$
ENDSTYLE
END
