	I think I see Each column stores a name and you are assigning a value of 5 to 1. You need to evaluate all of the sites that fall into each of the 5 columns and give the top 5 based on the sum of your assigned 5 to 1 value. That is a nightmare in crystal. how many data rows are you talking about? If you cannot scrub your data outside of crystal (a view or stored procedure) you could do a crystal command object and uniono the table onto itself 5 times like so: grab column 1 and call it 'name' make another column called 'score' as a value of 5 union it to grab column 2 and call it 'name' make another column called 'score' as a value of 4 union it to grab column 3 and call it 'name' make another column called 'score' as a value of 3 etc. then you can easily do a grouping on the name and summing on the score and get your top 5 from that.

"Most visited 2" 4 points and so on...... and i will find that same site again thn i will add that points to my current point total..... and if tht site name is not in list thn i will add tht field with its point in list..... so i can check for that site name next time...... this is only what i think.... i dnt knw this i can do in crystal report or not..... and i dnt knw what is other way to do this thing in crystal report..... please help me........

	*Originally posted by neha_patel* "Most visited 1" "Most visited 2" "Most visited 3" "Most visited 4" "Most visited 5" These are all on one data row correct? This makes getting the top # a nightmare at best. I am suggesting you alter it so that each of these are on one row. Then you can group on that row and get your sums easily.

	Sicne you cannot alter the DB use a crystal COMMAND to do the UNION approach as i suggested earlier. select mostvisited1field as NAME, 5 as AMOUNT from tablename UNION select mostvisited2field as NAME, 4 as AMOUNT from tablename UNION select mostvisited3field as NAME, 3 as AMOUNT from tablename UNION select mostvisited4field as NAME, 2 as AMOUNT from tablename UNION select mostvisited5field as NAME, 1 as AMOUNT from tablename
