In Column A is the competitor number.
in Column B is the total marks they received
in column C is the points they were awarded
cooumn d is the rank

basically, i want to show the top nth number of results in columns f to h Based on the number that is in cell E1. In E1, it says 9 so in columns f to h I want the data from a2:c10 to show up as they are the top 9 competitors. But if the number in E1 was 8, I only want the top 8 competitors to show up in F:H. I hope this makes sence! Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Sort by date Sort by votes
i'm sure there maybe a better way - other member may show

I'm assuming you are using 2019 version , as shown in your profile , so you do NOT have the filter function , which would make this much easier, and just use one function FILTER() to do it all, maybe with a sort

anyway

in F2and copy down

=IF(IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$21,SMALL(IF($D$2:$D$21<=$E$1,ROW($F$2:$F$21)),ROW(1:1))-1,1),"")=0,"",(INDEX($A$2:$A$21,SMALL(IF($D$2:$D$21<=$E$1,ROW($F$2:$F$21)),ROW(1:1))-1,1)))

In G2 and copy down

=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$12,MATCH(F2,$A$2:$A$12,0)),"")

In H2 and copy down

=IFERROR(INDEX($C$2:$C$12,MATCH(F2,$A$2:$A$12,0)),"")

Heya thanks for the reply! It’s saying #NUM!. Basically with the range A2:A12 that has 11 competitors, there may only be 5 competitors and it need it to work with that. Does it matter that there are other blank values or 0’s in the index?

zeros in the index will also be counted
=IF(IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$21,SMALL(IF($D$2:$D$21<=$E$1,ROW($F$2:$F$21)),ROW(1:1))-1,1),"")=0,"",(INDEX($A$2:$A$21,SMALL(IF($D$2:$D$21<=$E$1,ROW($F$2:$F$21)),ROW(1:1))-1,1)))

as that is using less than the number in e1
why is the rank showing zero, which this is using, so you may need to change the rank formula to not show a zero

what rank formula are you using

Thank you! Do you know how to do it so that if the number in E1 was 4, it would still show the first 5 results because the two competitors in 4th place tied so I need it to show both of them not just one?

that should show as is , as we are using rank , below the number in the cell , so if you had 12 entries all below the number it will still show
its not counting just 5 , its using the ranking below or equal to 5

Why does it repeat in row 6 score 98

because i copied and pasted the results , just to show an example of lots of 4's

ignore that - this is using your example with 2 4's
and anything below or equal to 5 ranking

Thank you. I should’ve specified. I meant if E1 was 4 not 5, there still should be 5 competitors showing because the last 2 got the same score of 8.5
