Default Report from random records of a query
I would like to ask you how can I solve the following problem. I have a query with a number of records (let's say with 35 records) I want to make statistical evaluations in a Report but for that I need only 30 records. I want to have only 30 RANDOM records in my report from the 35 records in the query. How can I have this solved? Thank you in advance for any proposition!

What I do is add a random number to each record. I use a query to sort bu the random number and use TOP 30.
