I am trying to find a formula that will do the following on my spreadsheet:

List the top 3 performers with name and output and show their contribution as a percentage of the overall total in cells B70:D73 (name, contribution, percentage).

My data is arranged as follows: (1) Names in cells B4:B63 (2) Output in cells F4:F63 (3) Overall total in F64

Any ideas?

Excel Facts

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Please test this:

Excel Formula:
=LET(
performers,B4:B63,
outputs,F4:F63,
sum,F64,
top,LARGE(UNIQUE(outputs),SEQUENCE(3)),
seq,SEQUENCE(ROWS(outputs),,sum,0),
proportions,outputs/seq,
array,HSTACK(performers,outputs,proportions),
DROP(REDUCE("",top,LAMBDA(a,b,VSTACK(a,FILTER(array,outputs=b)))),1))

Please do note that if there are more performers with the same performance, there may be more than 3 results; if you are only interested in 3, what are the criteria to identify them when their performance is the same?

Hi,

This is what I entered (all in one cell): =LET(performers, B4:B63,outputs,F4:F63,sum,F64,top,LARGE(UNIQUE(outputs),SEQUENCE(3)),seq,SEQUENCE(ROWS(outputs),,sum,0),proportions,outputs/seq,array,HSTACK(performers,outputs,proportions),DROP(REDUCE("",top,LAMDA(a,b,VSTACK(a,FILTER(array,outputs=b)))),1))

The error message showed: =NAME?

Another way. This will also show more than 3 if there is a tie.

Hi,

The error message showed: =NAME?

Thanks for the feedback. Hard to tell what causes the error - would this bring the same result:

Excel Formula:
=LET(
performers,B4:B63,
outputs,F4:F63,
total,F64,
top,LARGE(UNIQUE(outputs),SEQUENCE(3)),
seq,SEQUENCE(ROWS(outputs),,total,0),
proportions,outputs/seq,
array,HSTACK(performers,outputs,proportions),
DROP(REDUCE("",top,LAMBDA(a,b,VSTACK(a,FILTER(array,outputs=b)))),1))

If what myall_blues suggested works for you that would be great; if it does not could you please post sample of your data?

Hi Murray,

Thank you for your helpful reply. With a small adjustment, it worked perfectly.

Thank you.

Hello hagia-sofia,

As you can see from the above, Murray's solution gave me the result I was after. Thanks for your help.

@hagia_sofia OP typed 'LAMDA' instead of LAMBDA.
