Hi,
I'm trying to run a query on a multi-record table that will tell me the two highest numeric values within the set of numeric values associated with each record ID. I've put together a set query that almost works. It is a three line query as follows:
File name Record ID Numeric Values
Set example ID _a
Set example ID <MAX _a,_b
Check Check >=Max _b

The problem is that I have duplicate maximum values in some records and this query obviously ignores these duplicates and finds the next lowest numeric value. for set b.
Also, for some reason, I sometimes get only one value returned rather that two for a given record ID. I have no idea why this is happening.
Can anyone help me work out these two problems?
Thanks!!
