    This does not work unfortunately. I need to find the top 3 cars (with countries)

    You just missed the countries, however these are important

    Re: Sorting in Pivot table

    That's what I meant that not for each country. I need top three cars from the hole table.

    Meaning showing only this:
    Germany
    Porshe 340
    Audi A4 191

    Italy
    Audi A4 163

    Not sure if this can be done
