I've searched and found some things that are similar, but not exactly what I want (i.e. Index/Match). I want to look up the 1st largest value and return what is in column A. I'm then repeating for the 2nd, 3rd, etc.

Here is the formula I have, but the output for the largest and 2nd largest are the same. I need the formula to be able to identify each uniquely.

=INDEX(A$1:A$14,MATCH(LARGE(B$1:B$14,ROWS($1:1)),B$1:B$14,0))
