Message text: Applied condition "&4" does not return a unique result
The TOP or BOTTOM condition "&V4&" does not return a unique result.
Another &V1& values with the same rank are outside the limit. To obtain
a unique result, the threshold of the limit must be modified from &V2&
to &V3&.
For the conditions
Top Number
Top %
Top Total
Bottom Number
Bottom n Percent

the result is not unique if the last row in the result set and

A: 10
B: 5
C: 5
D: 3
There are two correct result sets for condition Top 2:
A: 10
B: 5
and
A: 10
C: 5
Modify condition "&V4&" accordingly.
