BottomCount(<table expression>, <rank expression>, <count>)

Applies To

An expression that returns a table, such as a <table column reference>, or a function that returns a table.

Return Type

<table expression>

SELECT
  [TM Decision Tree].[Bike Buyer],
  BottomCount(PredictHistogram([Bike Buyer]),$AdjustedProbability,2)
From
  [TM Decision Tree]
NATURAL PREDICTION JOIN
(SELECT 28 AS [Age],
  '2-5 Miles' AS [Commute Distance],
  'Graduate Degree' AS [Education],
