Question

I am trying to create a simple table and chart for my data but i cannot limit the rows in which it displays.

How can you do this, I have searched and found nothing.

My chart now has 420 bars of data haha it looks ridiculous, I need to limit the rows.

I have paginated my other table to display 5 rows per page but that only masks it.

To get the data I have gone the route of dragging over SQLdatasource tool and built my query that way.

Answer 1

All you need to do is limit the results coming back from your query. Depending on your backend:

SELECT * FROM  MyTable LIMIT x;

or

SELECT TOP x FROM MyTable...

Where x is the number of results you want returned from your query.

If neither of those work for you (SQL Server may not, for instance), check out this post on a similar question.
