If I'm understanding correctly... all of that code appears to merely be
creating sum of incidents by month by application... which in affect is about
the same as a crosstab query... the only advantage I see is that you have the
year - which is albeit lost in the crosstab without additional coding.

please help me understand if I'm off base.

Thanks!

I have a list of applications that have help desk tickets and need to
determine the top 5% of defects by the number of tickets called in per month.
What would be the best way to set this up? I considered using the results of
a cross tab query but dont really know how to get the top 5% by month...
please help!
