I have a table and want to find the nth largest value but then return the result from a different column in the same row the nth value is located in. I have a large table so this is a small example


Object#nResult
Orange
54​
1Pineapple
Apple
35​
2Pear
Pear
68​
3Orange
Grape
1​
Pineapple
548​

The table would be "Object" and "#" (Table A) and the results would be the N and Results


I would want to look for the largest value in the "#" column and return the result from the "Object" column. In this case it would be Pineapple with 548. It would go down the list and look for the second largest value (68 / Pear) and so on.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
