Get top three names

Anonymous — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

Hi all,

I have to get top 3 names from a field, but first I have to filter the dataset to max(count) of field A and than max(count) Field B. From this filtered dataset IK have to get the top 3 names from Name field. I am using the below expression to filter the data and get the top 3 names and their count.

The issue I am facing is that this expression is returning me all the names and their count. But I am not able to restrict it to the top three names and count

=Concat({<
[field A] = {"=rank(Count([field A]),4)=1"},
[Field B]={"=rank(count([Field B]))=1"}>}
Aggr(Only( [name]) & ' ('&Count([name])&')', [name], [name],[field A]))

Difficult to say much without taking a peek at your data? Would you be able to provide some raw data?

I think you need to apply the rank-condition within the inner aggregation: Set Analysis in the Aggr function.

Hi Fayez,

Is there any chance to you (Dimension Limit) for top 3 ,can u think that way?

i know you can't write set analysis there but you can control .

Is it like this ?

=if(Aggr(Rank(COUNT(field A)),name)<=3, 'TOP3NAMES:$(=Concat(DISTINCT name, ', '))', 'Others')

=if(Aggr(Rank(COUNT(field B)),name)<=3, 'TOP3NAMES:$(=Concat(DISTINCT name, ', '))', 'Others')

//Edited

FYI

I think the above expression works only if you select at least 4 or 5 values ....

Thanks Sunny,

I have pasted the dummy data below.

First I have to find out which string or value has been used max no of times. In this case it will be Net Sales. So I have to filter this data to Net Sales. After this, in the filtered dataset I have to find out which value has been used max no of times in Field A. In this case it will be General Industries. So I will have to filter the filtered dataset further to General Industries. Now my data set will have General Industries in Field A , Net Sales In Field B, and

these

Reagle,Daniel K.

Wickline,Samuel Joel

Planert,Tina M

Reagle,Daniel K.

Wells,Kristen Michelle

in the name field.

I have to get the top 3 names in this field along with their count. Like Wickline,Samuel Joel (3),Reagle,Daniel K.(2),Planert,Tina M(1).

I will ignore Wells,Kristen Michelle, as I have got Planert,Tina M as the third name. So effectly it doesn't matter which 1 I take, I just have to limit the overall names to 3 persons.

Hope I could explain it to you.

So when I use below expression it does not return me the correct results because Name is ranked in the complete data set rather than the filtered datset.

Name	Rank
Sullivan,Steven P	2
Sullivan,Steven P	2
Sullivan,Steven P	2
Reagle,Daniel K.	1
Reagle,Daniel K.	1
Wickline,Samuel Joel	3
Wickline,Samuel Joel	3
Wickline,Samuel Joel	3
Planert,Tina M	4
Planert,Tina M	4
Reagle,Daniel K.	1

Reagle,Daniel K.	1
Reagle,Daniel K.	1

Wickline,Samuel Joel	3
Valentino Pence,Geoffrey Brett	5

Wells,Kristen Michelle	6

=Concat({<
[field A] = {"=rank(Count([field A]),4)=1"},
[Field B]={"=rank(count([Field B]))=1"}>} ,[Name]={"=rank(count(name))<=3"}>}
Aggr(Only( [name]) & ' ('&Count([name])&')', [name], [name],[field A]))
