Rank and Top N

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.

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!
