Select 50 rows, but only up to 10 with same column - sql-server

Question

We're running SQL Server 2016. I'm currently building a table that will hold employee data for various companies we have dealings with. The table will be populated with employee information for the various companies in the form of:
Name
Company
Status
DateTime
Person 01
Company1
11/08/2021 07:01:00.00
Person 02
Company1
11/08/2021 07:02:00.00
Person 03
Company1
11/08/2021 07:03:00.00
Person 04
Company1
11/08/2021 07:04:00.00
Person 05
Company1
11/08/2021 07:05:00.00
Person 06
Company1
11/08/2021 07:06:00.00
Person 07
Company1
11/08/2021 07:07:00.00
Person 08
Company1
11/08/2021 07:08:00.00
Person 09
Company1
11/08/2021 07:09:00.00
Person 10
Company1
11/08/2021 07:10:00.00
Person 11
Company1
11/08/2021 07:11:00.00
Person 12
Company1
11/08/2021 07:12:00.00
Person 13
Company2
11/08/2021 07:13:00.00
Person 14
Company2
11/08/2021 07:14:00.00
Person 15
Company2
11/08/2021 07:15:00.00
Person 16
Company2
11/08/2021 07:16:00.00
We'll have a lot more data than that, but what we're trying to achieve is, every day, we want to do a selection of the first 50 with a blank status, and group these together.
Once we finish with them for the day, the Status is updated so we can select the next 50 easily.
This part is easy, however, the bit I'm unsure about is that we only want to select up to 10 entries from the same company every day.
For example, we want to retrieve 50 results, but only up to 10 can have the same company.
The 50 results may look like:
10 from Company 1
10 from Company 2
8 from Company 3 (since they didn't submit 8 or they did them later, so their no longer next in line)
2 from Company 4
10 from Company 5
10 from Company 6
I've gotten this far, but I don't know how to only select up to 10 from each company:
select top 50 *
from EmployeeData
where insull(Status,'') <> ''
order by DateTime
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Luke

Answer 1

Something like this maybe:
select top 50 [Name], [Company], [Status], [DateTime]
from (
SELECT [Name], [Company], [Status], [DateTime],
ROW_NUMBER ( ) OVER ( PARTITION BY [Company] order by [Name] ) rownum
FROM EmployeeData
where insull(Status,'') <> ''
) tbl
where rownum <= 10
order by [DateTime]

This query has two CTE's. First, the unique Company names are selected as 'unq_cte'. Second, 10 random rows are selected for each company as 'all_cte'. Last, from the 'all_cte' (collection of maximum 10 rows per company) the query selects 50 rows at random.
;with
unq_cte as (
select distinct Company
from EmployeeData),
all_cte as (
select top10.*
from unq_cte uc
cross apply (select top(10) *
from EmployeeData ed
where uc.Company=ed.Company
order by newid())
top10([Name], Company, [Status], [DateTime]))
select top(50) *
from all_cte
order by newid();
