Hi all

I m wondering if there is a way to have top 10 of a data item without using "rank" function ?

for example I want to have the 10 recent shippement for each shipper (top 10 date of shippement)

Thank you

on dimensional, I believe the function topcount can be used for that. on relational, I don't see an alternative solution.

Why rule out using rank, though?

Bar charts have a property for it, if you need it for that. Otherwise: what he(spora) said.
Few can be done on Cognos | RTFM for those who ask basic questions...

Hello ,

Thank you for your reply , I want to have the top 10 of reports which failed exactly 8 times during their last 8 execution , so I m using rank to have the last 8 execution by report :)

sorting on descending order to the measure column and do running-count(measure col or any col that you want) then drag this into filter running-count<=10 should get 10.
