Hi all,

I'm working with a dataset composed of an ID variable and an amount variable. I need to be able to isolate those participants in the top 1% for highest amounts, but I'm unsure how to do so. That is, I need to know the IDs of those with the top 1% of amount values--not what the 99th percentile amount is.

Any help is much appreciated!
