SUM top n results for all competitors
Posted on 2016-10-29
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
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

You should have prioper table structure if you like to use TOP in Access. Each match should be separate record:
Competitor Match Score
Jack 1 25
Jack 2 20
Jack 3 25
Jack 4 7
Jack 5 20
Jack 6 6
........
If table will have this structure, you can use classic query: Select top N from category
Look at sample
DBMatches.accdb
Competitor Match Score
Jack 1 25
Jack 2 20
Jack 3 25
Jack 4 7
Jack 5 20
Jack 6 6
........

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.

You can add count of matches to the same query:
SELECT tblCompetitors.ID, tblCompetitors.Competitor, Sum(tblData.Score) AS SumOfScore, Count(tblData.Match) AS CountOfMatch
FROM tblCompetitors INNER JOIN tblData ON tblCompetitors.ID = tblData.ID
WHERE (((tblData.Match) In (SELECT TOP 5 Match FROM tblData AS tD WHERE tD.ID = tblCompetitors.ID ORDER BY tD.Score DESC, tD.ID DESC)))
GROUP BY tblCompetitors.ID, tblCompetitors.Competitor
HAVING (((Count(tblData.Match))>3));
