asked on

SUM top n results for all competitors

I have a table matches with multiple competitors and for different matches with points:

Competitor       Match1         Match2         Match3       Match4     Match5     Match6
Jack                        25                   20                 25                 7                20               6              
Mike                      20                    25                20                 25              15              25
Tom                       15                  10                  15                15               25              15
John                       10                   15                  10                6                10              20

I want to sum this matches that sum uses top 5 points from all matches for example:

Competitor       Match1         Match2         Match3       Match4     Match5     Match6      SUM
Jack                        25                   20                 25                 7                20               6              97
Mike                      20                    25                20                 25              15              25            115
Tom                       15                  10                  15                15               25              15             85
John                       10                   15                  10                6                10              20             65

In excel this function is LARGE but I do not know what to use in access because because if I use SELECT TOP 5 it does not do the job because does not use the number 7 in Jack's case

Thanks, this solved my question. I have tables structured like this. Maybe I made a mistake in my question because I have written a result from crosstab query.
Maybe one more question. I also have to show competitors who were on at least 3 matches and the sum of results are from top5 matches. So second part is solved what about to include in this query competitors that were on at least 3 matches.
