Ranking Formula

[SanFelippo]

Hello,

I have a list of Data with the following headers: Count, Year, ID.

What I am trying to do is come up with a formula that will give me the top 25 IDs for each year that have the highest counts. Basically the table I want to fill out looks like what you see below. I need a formula that will find and return the ID of each rank for each year. Any ideas?

BEAUTIFUL.

Thanks a bunch!

 

[Fluff]

You're welcome

 

[SanFelippo]

Sorry, I may have spoken too soon. It appeared to be workingat first, but some of the rankings aren’t correct. For example, in 2014 I havean ID that should be in the rank 20 spot, but it isn’t showing up at first.However, when I sort the data I have be year largest to smallest, it correctlyplaces the ID at rank 20 but messes up some others that were correct before.Any idea why it would be doing that?

 

[Fluff]

Apologies, my mistake.
If you have the same count in different rows, that formula will pull out the first one, which may not be correct.
I'll have another look tomorrow if nobody else steps in.

 

[Eric W]

I believe the above formula can create invalid results in the case of duplicate amounts. For example, if A7 is 139 in the example above, the 2008 list will be off.

Duplicates in different years can be solved with this variation of the formula:

=INDEX($C$2:$C$45,MATCH(LARGE(IF($B$2:$B$45=F$1,$A$2:$A$45),$E2)&"|"&F$1,$A$2:$A$45&"|"&$B$2:$B$45,0))
with Control+Shift+Enter.


It's even trickier if there are duplicates within a year, for example if you put 31 in A3 and A4. This formula should work for that, but it does assume that the values in column A are integers, and that the number of rows is less than 1000:

=INDEX($C$2:$C$45,MATCH(LARGE(IF($B$2:$B$45=F$1,$A$2:$A$45+ROW($A$2:$A$45)/1000),$E2),$A$2:$A$45+ROW($A$2:$A$45)/1000,0))

with Control+Shift+Enter.

 

[SanFelippo]

The number of rows in this unfortunately is 12,377. There could be the case where there are duplicates within a year, but it should be a very rare occurrence. Is there a reason it has to be less than 1000, or was that just the number you went with for the formula because I hadn’t given you specifics?

 

[Eric W]

Just I number I picked since I didn't have specifics. You should be able to change the 1000's I marked in red to 100000's (a number bigger than 12,377) and it should work.

 

[SanFelippo]

Perfect, you guys are fantastic. Thanks!
