so on your small amount of data above

pottery would be 95 then 91
basket would be 91 then 90 ?

Right, but there are 3620 lines of data and 9 different categories. This was just a small example.

Can you add a helper column to your data? If so, see if the example below is what you want.

The helper column is used to add a small amount to the gpm to keep from having duplicates (say if gpm in pottery were both 95).

Can cell references to match your data.
Copy the formula in F2 down.
Formula in B9 would be copied down and across.

NOTE: formula in B9 is an array formula and must be entered with

Excel Workbook
	A	B	C	D	E	F	G
