Calculate the top 10% of values in a table column?

[Anonymous]

Hi -

I have a pretty simple dataset of 'UniqueName' and 'NumValue' for each row in a table.   The number of rows will vary over time.  What I'm after is how to look at the entire column of NumValues and determine which are the top 10% largest numbers of the bunch.  From this I want to be able to display just those top 10% in a report table as well as use the sum of them for further calculations.

Seems easy enough but I'm struggling to do it efficently.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Anonymous 

You could try adding a rank column to your table and then doing the calculation where the rank is 10 or less?

Thanks,
