Hi,
I have a panel of data organised as follows:
id1, 1990, 100
id1, 1991, 101
id1, 1992, 100
id1, 1993, 103
id2, 1990, 80
id2, 1991, 90
id2, 1992, 81
id2, 1993, 83
id3..... etc.
Is there any way to -- without re-structuring the data -- write a
query that will return the top two records based on the third column?
Like the max function but for the top two instead of top one. The
desired output would be:
id1, 1993, 103
id1, 1991, 101
id2, 1991, 90
id2, 1993, 83
id3.... etc.
Thanks in advance for your time,
Alan
