Hello everyone. I am new in ms access. I am trying to make Students database for entering marks for Subjects done.
I would really appreciate if someone helps me to make a query or function which will only select best 7 performed Subjects out of all subjects done.
Example.
The following students let's call them STUDENT A, STUDENT B and STUDENT C.
STUDENT A

2. WOODWORK- 90

add Autonumber to your Table:

SELECT T1.student, T1.subject, T1.grade
FROM yourTable AS T1
WHERE (((T1.ID) In (SELECT TOP 7 T2.ID FROM yourTable AS T2 WHERE T2.student = T1.student
ORDER BY T2.Grade DESC)))
ORDER BY T1.student, T1.grade DESC;

Thanks.
What about in case of a tie in all subjects? E.g
1. Subject 1 -70
2. Subject 2-- 70
3. Subject 3- 70
4. Subject 4- 70
5. Subject 5- 70
6. Subject 6-70
7. Subject 7-70
8. Subject 8-70
9. Subject 9-70
10. Subject 10- 70


Will I use the same query?
Thanks so much.
