This element specifies the top N (percent or number of items) to filter by.

[Example: This example filters the first column by the top 10 percent of the values in that column. For all cells in the column whose value falls outside the top 10 percent of the value in that column, the rows corresponding to those cells are hidden from the view. In this example, there are 6 cells in the range, containing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 repsectively.

<filterColumn colId="0">
<top10 percent="1" val="5" filterVal="6"/>
</filterColumn

end example]
