Use a paramater for a Top N Expert?

[Chilly1]

Is it possible to set a paramater that allows a user to decide the number for the Top N Expert?

For example I would like the user to be able to decide who the top 5 sales people are -- OR -- decide who the top 10 sales people are.

Is there a way the user can select through the paramter screen the number they want???

You can't do this with a TopN approach, but you can achieve the same effect by conditionally suppressing the section.

Here's some more detail:

Keep the TopN sort.

Create a Running Total (e.g., "RT_Reps&quot of type Count that Evaluates on change of group: Sales Person

In the Suppress attribute of the section(s) enter:
------------------------------
{#RT_Reps} > {?your_parameter}
------------------------------
