    Top 10% of Sorted Data

    Good Day All.

    I have a data set of about 600 records. I want to be able to extract the Top 10% of the records and get rid of the other 90% - the values can change over time, so I always want to start with the full 600 records.

    I am aware of the conditional formatting function that will identify the Top 10%, but I was looking for VBA language (does not have to be VBA - just automated), that calculated the 10% subset and either moved it to a different sheet, OR deleted the bottom 90% - in either instance the result being just the list of the top 10% of the data set.

    I hope that makes sense.

    Thanks in advance!!!
