JUST ADD

First N to a LOAD or SELECT statement , where N is the first number of records you want to load .

Hi,

For finding Top 5 in the front end try this

Assume this example

Source:
LOAD * Inline [
Centers,Sales
A,98521
B,65823
C,32581
D,1587
E,12635
F,8426
G,12563
H,2569
I,78451
J,25638
K,45821
L,15896
M,1263
N,25874
O,7845
P,12589
]
;

Dim:-  =if( Aggr(Rank(Sum(Sales)) <= 5,Centers),Centers)
Expre:- Sum(Sales)

Or In script you can

Source:
LOAD * Inline [
Centers,Sales
A,98521
B,65823
C,32581
D,1587
E,12635
F,8426
G,12563
H,2569
I,78451
J,25638
K,45821
L,15896
M,1263
N,25874
O,7845
P,12589
]
;
Left Join
Load Centers, SUM(Sales) as Total Resident Test Group By Centers;
Noconcatenate
First 5
Final:
Load Centers, Total Resident Source
Order By TotalSales desc;
Drop Table Source;
