Hi Birgitta

Yes, that was a solution posted earlier.

It gets around the issue of multiple results when MIN value is the same - I had offered the CTE/NTE solution, because I usually don't like to trust "first row only"

I think this requirement can be done without CTE and/or sub-select:

Select Ordyr, count(*) as Orders
From MacFile
Where Ordyr between 2003 and 2013
Group By Ordyr
Order By Orders
Fetch First Row Only;

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
