Hello,

We have this search below:

stats count(eval(State="OPEN")) as "Open", count(eval(State="CLOSED")) as "Closed" by Office, City, IP  | sort City, Office, -Open

And results in this table:

City Office IP Open Closed
City1 Office1 IP1 30
City1 Office1 IP2 18
City1 Office1 IP3 10
City1 Office1 IP4 5
City1 Office1 IP5 4
City1 Office1 IP6 1
City1 Office1 IP7 1
City1 Office2 IP1 30
City1 Office2 IP2 28
City1 Office2 IP3 20
City1 Office2 IP4 19
City1 Office2 IP5 18
City1 Office2 IP6 17
City1 Office2 IP7 10
City1 Office2 IP8 1

Is it possible to limit it to display only the top 5 IPs by Office?

City Office IP Open Closed
City1 Office1 IP1 30
City1 Office1 IP2 18
City1 Office1 IP3 10
City1 Office1 IP4 5
City1 Office1 IP5 4
City1 Office2 IP1 30
City1 Office2 IP2 28
City1 Office2 IP3 20
City1 Office2 IP4 19
City1 Office2 IP5 18
City2 Office1 ...

Top removes City and Open columns. And Top does not use values in Open column.
