Showing only the top 3 values in a pivot table

In version 11, QlikView introduced the feature Dimension Limits for most of the charts. This feature allows you to limit the number of values displayed based on a certain criteria; most usually, the value is in the top X (whatever X you want). It also allows you to include an Others dimension value for everything else outside the top X.

This feature is not available for gauge charts (which don't usually have a dimension anyway) and pivot tables.

In this recipe, we are going to implement the feature using AGGR in a pivot table.
