Hi,
I need your help. I have this table (source table) and I would like to:
- Rank the table based on number of complaints for 2018, and
- Then, grab the Top 5 and create a new table to show how these Top 5 reasons perform in previous years.
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI @RHerrera73,
You can add calculate column to ranking based on 2018 column, the use TOPN function to create new table with top records base on rank column.

Hi @RHerrera73 ,
It's been years but I'm having the same problelm. I understand the logic, but how did you achieve the second part using TOPN?
Thank you in advance

I was thinking in a solution without using a calculated column but you are right, that works!
