  • A table or visualization in Displayr.

You will also see a warning in the Rules section of Properties 26UI_ObjectInspector.png 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 Properties 26UI_ObjectInspector.png.
  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.
