Hi everyone

I have a table in A1:D9 in which a unit is plotted for each person against various locations.

Cell G1 is a data validation/drop down in which you can select a person from the table (in the example below I have taken Person 2). The formula therefore needs to reference cell G1.

I would like a formula to drag down from G2 which lists the locations for that person from the highest ranked to the lowest ranked. In the example below New York has a 12 for Person 2 which is the highest value – hence NewYork is listed first.

If possible I would also like a formula to drag down from F2which pulls the unit associated with that person and location – so in the example below F2 is 12 as Person 2 plots 12 for New York.

Hopefully that is fairly clear but let me know if not!

Thanks

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Sort by date Sort by votes
Try

Formula in F2 copied down
=IFERROR(LARGE(INDEX(B$2:D$100,0,MATCH(G$1,B$1:D$1,0)),ROWS(F$2:F2)),"")

Array formula in G2 copied down
=IF(F2="","",INDEX(A$2:A$100,SMALL(IF(INDEX(B$2:D$100,0,MATCH(G$1,B$1:D$1,0))=F2,ROW(A$2:A$100)-ROW(A$2)+1),COUNTIF(F$2:F2,F2))))
confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just Enter

Hope this helps

M.

Hi Alan

Thoughts:
1. I think there a typo in your formula in G2
=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(F2,INDEX(A:C,,MATCH(G$1,$A$1:$D$1,0)),0))
Shouldn't it be?
=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(F2,INDEX(A:D,,MATCH(G$1,$A$1:$D$1,0)),0))

2. To deal with draws is necessary an array formula in G2
For example: change the value in C8 to 12 (instead of 7)
