In both dataset and ticker there is a lower/upper rows limit settings.
So you can set lower rows limit to 0(or 1) and upper rows limit to 5.
Then depending if you want all of that 5 rows in one page or each in separate pages you can adjust the ‘items(rows) per page’ setting too.

@Peter thanks it works, but i’ve another question, how i can make a rank from dataset the bigger until the smaller
like 1st
2nd
3rd
4th
5th

with automatically,

thanks for your advise,

In Order you will want to put ‘YourColumnName’ DESC (or ASC)
so for example: Col1 ASC

now if you have numbers like 1 2 3 and 11 22 etc and you want to order your dataset by it then in dataset you’ll need to add ’ ’ (space) before the number so: ’ 1’ instead of just ‘1’ if you don’t do that then the order won’t be correct (it would be 1 11 2 22 3). If you have numbers with 3 digits then similar ’ 9’ (two spaces and number) ’ 10’ (one space and number)

@Peter Actually it works,thanks . But i feels weird about the format for to show in display client, any suggestion i can do about this?

[Peter]

So if you are using dataset module, then you can modify format/colour and stuff in css
If you are using ticker with dataset then it’s quite similar to normal text editor.
