<Icon icon="tag" iconType="duotone" /> Since [1.16.0][toolkit-1.16.0]

Return the N highest values seen by the aggregate.

## Samples

Find the top 5 values from i \* 13 % 10007 for i = 1 to 10000:

```sql theme={"dark"}
SELECT into_values(
    max_n(sub.val, 5))
FROM (
  SELECT (i * 13) % 10007 AS val
  FROM generate_series(1,10000) as i
) sub;
```

Output:

```sql theme={"dark"}
into_values
-------------
10006
10005
10004
10003
10002
```

```sql theme={"dark"}
into_values (
    agg MaxN
) SETOF BIGINT | SETOF DOUBLE PRECISION | SETOF TIMESTAMPTZ
```
