That was it, thanks very much!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a dataset that looks something like this...<br />
<br />
Product Name, &nbsp;Manufacturer, &nbsp;SaleYear, &nbsp; GrossSales<br />
<br />
I need to find the top three products sold by GrossSales for each year, so it would look like this...<br />
<br />
2008<br />
Sony, Product X, $20,000<br />
HP, Product Y, $19,500<br />
Dell, Product Q, &nbsp;$18,000<br />
<br />
2009<br />
Apple, Product J, &nbsp;$22,150<br />
Dell, Product Q, &nbsp; $19,200<br />
Sony, Product X, &nbsp;$14,000<br />
<br />
2010...<br />
...top three products....<br />
<br />
etc...<br />
<br />
So for each year, show the top three products sold by the Gross Revenue...<br />
<br />
I believe this uses Row_Number() and Over but not sure of the format.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
