Nested Conditions in a Query or Priority setting

Question

Hi all
Would anyone know whether it would be possible to do nested conditions or set the priority of conditions in a query?
My problem is that I have two conditions, A and B. Both are optional, however, if both are entered together I want condition A to take effect before condition B.
Example:
Condition A is amount received (range)
Condition B is Top N customers
When both are entered together, I want to see the top N customers within the specified amount range.
Currently, both conditions are together, meaning that if my specified range does not encompass the top N customers, I do not get any data retrieved.
Any help on this would be appreciated and points awarded.
Thanks in advance
Nicholas

Answer 1

I have exact same question that Nicholas Chia asked last year. Does anybody have any suggestions to achieve this?
Here is the example scenario:
CHAR          KF
ABC          10
BCD          -5
CDE          0
DEF          4
EFG          6
FGH          2
IJK          -8
Condition 1: Top 5
Condition 2: Key figure <> 0
I expect to see the results like this:
CHAR          KF
ABC          10
BCD          -5
DEF          4
EFG          6
FGH          2
But, BEx outputs like this:
CHAR          KF
ABC          10
DEF          4
EFG          6
FGH          2
I think BEx is first applying the Top N condition. Takes the resulting data and then applies KF <> 0 condition.
Is there a way to achieve the results the way we like (first apply condition 2 and then the condition 1). Creating the conditions in different order have no effect.
