What are Ranked Lists?
In the last section you familiarized yourself with statistics . With statistics, numerical values (for example, sales) belonging to particular key terms (for example, an airline carrier or a charter flight) are summed. The result is displayed in a table and thus returns an overview of the distribution of numeric values across the individual key terms.
Ranked lists are special types of statistics. Here, numeric values are also summed for key terms and displayed in a table. Sorting always takes place using a numerical value. This value is described as a ranked list criterion. Additionally, only a certain number of items are output. Ranked lists are therefore useful for asking questions such as: "Which 10 flight connections have the highest sales?"
Note
When you choose a numeric value as the only sort criterion in a statistic, the result is practically a ranked list. With statistics, however, you cannot restrict the number of items to be output.
