I need to build a report to show the Top n products and sum of the rest products across column groups sales territory and year for my ProductSales Actual data set which contains the data at transactional day level granularity

I also need to show the total product Sales Actual and Total Product Sales Target across column groups sales territory and year.

The Product sales Target dataset is at sales territory and year granularity.

I guess we can impliment this with two different tables and align them .The first table grouped by top n and sum of others.The second table attached to a dataset which is at brought to common level granularity at territory and year

Is there any better way of doing this ,so that we achive this in a single table ,Also what is best way of acieving topn and sum of the rest of others .

If I understand everything correctly, then yes I think the best way to achieve is using two tables. That's because the two datasets are at different grains.

If you want to use one table, it may require a lot of t-sql jiu-jitsu. Personally, I would try using two tables first. If you can't get it to look good, then maybe go for Plan B.

Take a look at two articles written by Mike Davis over at BIDN.com. The articles contain steps for SSRS 2008, but I imagine they might work for 2005 as well as 2012.

Here's his follow-up article that also deals with handling "ties" (which he calls "duplicates") for Top N:

Thank You for the responses,
Finally i was able to figure out using different group filtering and running aggregates.

Many Thanks

I would like to see how you did that. Can you post the report and a sample dataset maybe?

thanks
