Question

I have a table like this:

`id|value

1|2

2|8

3|5

4|6

5|10

6|7`

I need a query to pull AND sum the 3 highest values. So the correct query would pull the following:

3 highest:

5|10
2|8
6|7

Sum of 3 highest values = 25

I feel like this should be pretty simple but i’m having a tough time! Thanks for your help

Answer 1

SELECT SUM(Value) AS SumOfTop3Values
FROM (
    SELECT Value
    FROM Table
    ORDER BY Value DESC
    LIMIT 3
) AS sub
