In this blog post, we will be using Notes because I have M365 installed on my system. In order versions, kindly use Comments

  • Click on the Total column filter button
  • Select Number Filters and then Top 10 as seen below

  • In the Top 10 AutoFilter dialogue box, adjust the 10 to 5 as seen below
