How to Show a Specified Number of Rows and Keep Other Specific Rows in a Table or Visualization

This article describes how to go from a standard table...

...to a table that only displays a specified number of rows from the top, plus any other specified rows:

Requirements

• A table or visualization in Displayr.

Note: You must apply the rule directly to the input table if you see a table icon in the Data > Data Source > Data field in the object inspector of a visualization.

You will also see a warning in the Rules section of the object inspector if you have applied a rule directly to a non-compatible visualization, and you will need to apply it to the input table instead. For example:

Method

1. Select your table or visualization.
2. Go to Data > Rules in the Object Inspector .
3. Select + > Rows/Columns > Show Only Top K and Specified Rows.
4. Specify the Number of rows from the top to include.
5. Enter the label of any Rows to always retain, e.g., Pepsi Max. It is important to match the spelling as it is displayed in the table.
6. OPTIONAL: Select the Color for the required rows specified in step 5.
7. Press OK.
