Hi,

I have two Ranked Columns

Example:

A B

1 3
2 4
3 1
4 1
5 5
6 1
7 2

I need to search COLUMN "B" For Highest Rank, and then once that is found, I need to have it tell me which of those have the highest rank in Column "A"....

So in this instance, it would be the 3rd one down, B=1 and A=3.... Can someone help me with what the formula would be to have it find the best of column A AFTER it finds the #1 in B?

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Re: Need Help To Break RANK Tie

Try this array formula

=MIN(IF(B1:B7=1,A1:A7))
Ctrl+Shift+Enter

Re: Need Help To Break RANK Tie

This is my formula now....

[FONT=&quot]=IF(COUNTIF($BF$60:$BY$9778,1)=1,VLOOKUP(1,$BF$60:$BY$9778,3,0),VLOOKUP(1,$BE$60:$BY$9778,12,0))

Where would I enter the "MIN"?

Forgot to say...
Welcome to Mr Excel forum

You've asked how to find the min value in column A where B =1. This is what the formula in post 2 does.
I don't know what you are trying to do with the formula you posted above. Try to explain. A small data sample along with expected result(s) would be helpful.

To post a data sample see section B in

Thanks Marcelo!

I just attached link to screen shot. Let me know if you understand it?

So, in a nutshell, I have a list of 10,000 entries.... I have ranked in COLUMN "BE" and "BF" by two different statitics.

I have it displaying the 3 TOP RANKED entries (Full Row Across) by TOP RANKED COLUMN "BE" (BG51:BY57)

Then.... Under that.....

I have it displaying the 3 TOP RANKED entries (Full Row Across) by TOP RANKED COLUMN "BF" (BG55:BY57)

The BE column is okay the way it is, because there are no duplicates. BUT the BF column has alot of duplicates.

So I am trying to have it find the top ranked entry in column BF, which is "1", but there are 30 of them... So NOW, I need it to look at those 30 entries, and tell me which one is the MIN value (highest rank of those, but its not necessarily the digit of 1, so I cant ask it to find 1, it needs to find the lowest of what is there.

I hope I make sense....

Re: Need Help To Break RANK Tie

I appreciate your effort to provide a data sample, but unfortunately images are not helpful - it's not possible to copy/paste the data for testing purposes.
As i said take a look at the link above (post 4) and try to post a data sample here (in a forum page): ~10 rows are enough. Otherwise, is hard to help.
