Ok Sean I appreciate the help but bear with me as I take this one step at a time. So per your instructions, would the first Stored Procedure be the following?CREATE PROC PEX_MetricsTopFiveStrongest
AS
SELECT TransactionId AS LPPProgramID, DateTransactionCleared AS DateTimePoint
FROM dbo.Pex_ClearedTransactions
ORDER BY DateTimePoint
OFFSET 0 ROWS FETCH FIRST 5 ROWS ONLY;
No, you can't select from a stored proc. You would have to do something like in the example procedure I posted. You would have to insert the resultset of Pex_ClearedTransactions into a temp table and then select from the temp table. This might be horribly inefficient if that procedure returns a lot of data.
