I would like help solving this problem, Finding the Top 5 of text filled column by the different Years in the data.

I have a set of data in one sheet that covers 3 Fiscal years FY15, FY16 and FY17 (Column named "Open_FY") and sub categories of issues (named SubCat) this are workplace issues like Hostile Work Environment, Dignity and Respect, Theft... so in another sheet I layout the data in tables and charts and one table is the top 5 subcategories by Open_FY...

I can get the Top 5 for the over all date with this formula: =INDEX(SubCat,MATCH(LARGE(FREQUENCY(MATCH(SubCat,SubCat,0),ROW(SubCat)-ROW('FY16-FY17 Recieved'!$M$1)+1)+ROW('Prepared Foods FY16-FY17.xlsx'!SubCat_Plus1)/10000,ROWS(R$109:R109)),FREQUENCY(MATCH(SubCat,SubCat,0),ROW(SubCat)-ROW('FY16-FY17 Recieved'!$M$1)+1)+ROW(SubCat_Plus1)/10000,0)))

But can't find a way to get the correct Top 5 by Open_FY, an ideas? Thank you!

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.

In case of ties, the list will show the values in reverse order of incidence. I assume you can adjust the ranges to match your sheet and defined names.

Hope this works for you.
