Hello,

I tried to search for this but had no luck. Could be just an issue with knowing what to search for. If so I apologise, can you point me to the correct place.

I am trying to produce a (dynamic) list of the Top 5 Categories with their Top 5 Sub-categories and the remainder Categories/Sub-categories are summated. Data is presentated in 3 colums; Category, Sub-Category & Total. So the amount that determines the order is at the Sub-Category level & will need to be summed by Category to determing the order. This is where I came undone. I could work a way to just get the Top of a single dimension list & sum the remainder. But the 2nd dimension throwes me. :(

As an example for a Top 3 of Top 3 set. If the data was this:

CategorySub-CategoryTotal
Field ActivityService Order/Work Order12
Field ActivityAccess/Gates11
Field ActivityStaff Conduct16
Field ActivityDamage to Property18
Field ActivityIncomplete Work12
InfrastructureOther20
InfrastructurePoles6
InfrastructureSubstation6
InfrastructureAdvertising/Painting-EE Asset1
InfrastructureLine Clearance3
InfrastructureTurret/Pillar Box3

Meter ReadingAccess47
Meter ReadingStaff Conduct12
Meter ReadingGates14
Meter ReadingQld Locksmiths2
Meter ReadingDate/Time2
Advertising/MarketingGeneral1

<tbody>
</tbody><colgroup><col><col><col></colgroup>


Then the result would be like this:

CategorySub-CategoryTotal
Meter Reading112
Meter ReadingEstimates35
Meter ReadingAccess47
Meter ReadingGates14
Meter ReadingAll Other Sub-categories16
Quality of Supply71
Quality of SupplyOutage Notification42

Field Activity69
Field ActivityDamage to Property18

Field ActivityIncomplete Work12
Field ActivityAll Other Sub-categories23
All Other Categories41
All Other CategoriesOther20
All Other CategoriesPoles6
All Other CategoriesSubstation6
All Other CategoriesAll Other Sub-categories9
TOTAL586

<tbody>
</tbody><colgroup><col span="2"><col></colgroup>

Cheers & thanks for any assistance.
