Default How to find the top 5% observations

sorry for the confusion.
I want to find the cut-off point and delete the observations above the
point(top 5%) and below the point (bottom 5%)
thank you

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "chop off".

Delete them from the list?
Filter them out?
Perform a calculation on the list, but excluding the top/bottom 5%?
or something else?
