Hi All,

This is my questions. Pl. ignore the previous one.

These are the records I've in my table.

I need to return top 3 countries (rank) by Sales.

Record Date Country Sales

1 01.01.04 AU 80%

2 01.01.04 IN 92%

3 01.01.04 CH 50%

4 01.01.04 USA 75%

5 01.01.04 SG 25%

The result set should be:

Record Date Country Sales

2 01.01.04 IN 92%

1 01.01.04 AU 80%

4 01.01.04 USA 75%

How to write query for that?

Thanx

Rgds
