I want to recognize the top n people on a list based on the number of people on the list. I would like to highlight the top n in red based on a number representing n. The number is the result of a percentage based array.

Help!

I'm not sure what you meant by your last sentence:
"The number is the result of a percentage based array."

But, if you want those records that are at or above a certain percentile for the group of records, then the following should work. Go to format section->details->color->background color->x+2 and enter:

if {table.amount} >= PthPercentile (80,{table.amount},{table.group}) then crred else crwhite

This would highlight in red all records which exceeded the 80th percentile for the particular group of records.
