I believe a RANK also acts as a primary sort.
You want to rank across all regions, but then group your ranked results by Region.

One way would be in modifying the universe in Designer using one of the Analytic SQL functions that many DBMS offer. Please, ask your universe designer and/or DBA for more details on this.

The Rank feature of BO does a sort and a filter.

What you want is to use the Rank function. Unfortunately, you end up not being able to do the filter.

I think you might be out of luck.

Steve,
Is there any way i can restrict the number of row to 10 (top 10) without applying the Rank function. I have access to BO,Designer,Supervisor.

You could do this in the query itself. If you reverse sort your data you can also limit it to 10 rows. It’s on the Options button of the query panel. then you could do whatever you want at the report level.
