Hi,

I would like to generate a list with the top 3 people with the highest number of incidents in one year (including their name and count).

I have a list of names with their incident counts, but I have trouble listing the top 3 because there are duplicates in the incident counts.

I can't do pivot table or anything manual as this feeds into a chart/dashboard automatically.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
Thank you Michael, it worked perfectly! :)





Ah, sorry...I was missing you point..:banghead:

You will need a helper column, like this
Excel 2007
ABC
A (name)B (#incidents)Ranking
peter
Alex
Denise
Sylvie
Lucie
Daniel
Michel
TOP 3
NameCount
Sylvie
Alex
Denise
