First 10 numbers
I have a query that pulls together states from a program. I group the states
and added the Count aggregate to the state field. I want access to display the top 10 states including an extra entry if two states have the same number. I hope this is clear. thank you, -- Deenos

Using top 10 should work
SELECT TOP 10 States, Count(SomeField) FROM SomeTable GROUP BY States ORDER BY Count(SomeField) Desc John Spencer Access MVP 2002-2005, 2007-2010 The Hilltop Institute University of Maryland Baltimore County Deenos wrote: I have a query that pulls together states from a program.

Open the query in SQL View. Change the first line to say:
SELECT TOP 10 state Make sure to sort (AKA group by) the Count([State]) field in DESC order. However the above will only return extra records if there is a tie for the 10th position. A tie for only the 5th position will only return 10 records. If there are more than 2 records tied for 10th, all ties will be returned. -- Jerry Whittle, Microsoft Access MVP Light. Strong. Cheap.
