# Top N + others

Top N answers questions such as *Customers* contributing to the most revenue, *Spend Categories* that consume the most of the budget, etc. 

In this section, let us see how the Top N feature works in Premium Table. 

Consider the example of displaying the Top 2 categories that generated maximum Revenue.

### 1. Configuring TopN

**STEP 1:** Select the Revenue column.

**STEP 2:** Select **Top n** from the Analyze section of the Home ribbon. The Top N dialog box appears. Fill in the details to filter the Top 10 categories. Click Apply.

{% hint style="info" %}
To show the top 2% of items, just change the selection ‘Value’ to ‘Percentage’.
{% endhint %}

**STEP 3:** You can see the top 10 categories with the remaining categories grouped under 'Others'*.* It also indicates how many items are a part of the 'Others' row.

**STEP 4:** Hover over the 'Others' row to see a preview of the items grouped under Others.  Click on the expand icon to view all the categories that have been classified as Others.&#x20;
