Hello. Can someone help me if there's a way to use a different color to indicate the top 5 items in the bar chart dynamically?

    Continuing with what @ArborRose is saying, you would create a beastmode something like this:

    DENSE_RANK(Number) OVER (ORDER BY Number)

    Then, in a color rule you would set the rule using the new beastmode field above and the condition would be less than or equal to 5.

    @Zel does it need to be in an ETL? You should be able to use a pivot table in analyzer to achieve this and then just use the default sorting arrows. If you do need to do it in ETL you would do a group by first with a count distance values and then a rank.

    Here is what the pivot table would look like just using Table 1 in Analyzer.

    Yes, ETL has a rank and window tile.

    You can use the rank and window tile to identify the top 5. Then set color rules.

    Thank you for your inputs. I'd like to ask, is there a way that I could achieve this in ETL?

    I have my raw data in Table 1. I want to transform it into something like what I have here in Table 2 thru ETL. I need to have the count of all alarm IDs per store in ETL and rank them accordingly. I tried the above solution but I'm getting 1 for all ranks. lol apologies.
