Answer / arangaraj

Hi,

All are wrong.for ex. if u have list report with
region,staff name and revenue. if u want show top 10 and
bottom 10 performance based on the revenue, drag new data
item from tool box to query item box then expression window
will show in that type like

For Top 10 performance:rank([revenue]desc for [region])
and give name for new query item like Rank or anything.
then drag this new query item to the detail filter window.
then type [Rank]<=10.

For Bottom 10 performance:rank([revenue]asc for [region])
[Rank]<=10.

Answer / kruthi

By applying conditional format to the required column in
atable we can get top 10 and bottom 10 records in the same
list.
EX:if u want the employees whose sale is greater than 1000
then apply the condition employee sales>1000
then u will get the employees list whose sale is >1000 in
the top 10.
intye same way u can create bottom 10 records in the same
list
