I use INDEX($C$9:$C$30,MATCH($C37,E$9:E$30,0)) to match the ranking results of a table starting in c9-c30. Their corresponding rankings are on E9-E30. I'm interested in the first six rankings from the evaluated names that are included in the table using C37 to C42 (C37 =1, c38=2, c42=6). However since there are instances when two evaluation results are the same then there could be duplicated rank #3 for instance and the fourth ranking on the table will generate an error (as the next ranking after two 3's is 5). Any comments on how to display the second rank #3 in the table? Thanks in advance.:nya:

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.

Welcome to the forum!

Maybe:

=INDEX($C$9:$C$30,MATCH(SMALL($E$9:$E$30+ROW(E$9:E$30)/100,$C37),$E$9:$E$30+ROW(E$9:E$30)/100,0))

That's an array formula, so confirm it with Control-Shift-Enter.

Use 1,2,3,4,5,6 in C37:C42, but in case of ties, it will pull the next name from the list.

Thanks Eric, but now the formula returns #NUM! for cell with #4 as there isn't actually a rank #4 but two tied at number 3 (I used ctrl-shift-enter)

This is the layout I have for my test sheet. As you can see, I have a 3-way tie for third, and it's pulling the names properly.

Does your sheet look the same? There must be some difference.
