Hi,

I have the following table;

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 100, align: left"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]Alex[/TD]
[TD]60[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD]Brad[/TD]
[TD]60[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]3[/TD]
[TD]Chris[/TD]
[TD]50[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD]Dave[/TD]
[TD]60[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD]Elli[/TD]
[TD]70[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]











I then rank 1 to 5 from highest to smallest. Using =LARGE(B:B,1), =LARGE(B:B,2) and so on down to =LARGE(B:B,5)

According to the value of each ranked item in column E below, I need to then assign the person in that position. I get the following output;

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: left"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]

</tbody>[/TABLE]













I get Alex appearing 3 times in column F but need the name of the other 2 people that also have a value of 60 (i.e. Brad and Dave). I am using =INDEX($A$1:$A$5,MATCH(E2,$B$1:$B$5,1)) in column F above.

Without having to use VBA code, how can I solve this so that in rank 2, 3 & 4 I get the names Alex, Brad & Dave? These 3 names can appear in any order and doesn't have to be alphabetical. Also the source data range in terms of number of rows is dynamic.

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Sort by date Sort by votes
Match will always return the first match found that is why Alex is listed three times.

Thanks Scott - that works. My columns A & B are dynamic number of rows (hundreds), and top 5 ranked will change based on this dynamic range. How can I adjust the worksheet & array formulas to capture this?

If you use a helper column in C then you can use very simple formulas:

Thanks. I tried your suggestion but if I now go and enter "Fred" in cell A7 and "55" in cell B7, I get errors.

Basically is there an automatic way so that the rank table replaces Chris = 50 with Fred = 55 in cell range F6:H6?

Ideally I also do not want to drag any formulas down in column C that captures any new data coming in.

Thanks

You could convert the range that you already have (A1:C6, where in C there are already formulas) to a table (named Table1). And whenever you add a new record in column A and B, the formula that is in C will update automatically.

then in F2: =IF(ROWS(F$1:F1)>MAX(Table1[rank]),"",SMALL(Table1[rank],ROWS(F$1:F1)))
then in G2: =IF($F2="","",INDEX(Table1[name],MATCH($F2,Table1[rank],0)))
then in H2: =IF($F2="","",INDEX(Table1[value],MATCH($F2,Table1[rank],0)))

and you drag these 3 down as much as your data could go
