How can I get the first five documents in the view?

How can I get the first five documents in the view?

How can I get the first five documents in the view?

(OP)
I need to get the first five documents in the view using formula language. I know I can get it thru script but I'm tryin to grab the data from first five documents using dblookup. is that possible?

RE: How can I get the first five documents in the view?

No. @DbLookup will gather info from all documents that correspond to the key criteria passed in the function declaration.
I would suggest either reviewing the view selection criteria, creating another view to do the lookup, or refining the key criteria of the function.

RE: How can I get the first five documents in the view?

temp := @dbcolumn("":""; "":""; "myview"; 1);
first5 := @subset(temp; 5);
first5
