Thanks Martijn, Barry,
I was wondering whether it could be done in a single query.
I want users to decide how many countries they want,
and show world sales on top of report followed by the N countries.
This to enable relative country shares, both for reporting and graphs.
For example, Top-10 countries + Rest in a pie graph.
So I need one additional row in the Top-N query.
Regards, Cor
