Combining an IF and MAX function

[Drummy]

ok, say I have this worksheet

Gemma Senior 1.1
Mark Senior 1.0
Giles Senior 1.1
Matthew Senior 0.2
Owen Senior 0.7
Kevin Senior 1.8
Alex Senior 0.0
Valentina Senior 1.3
Katie Junior 1.3
Ashlea Junior 0.2
Tara Senior 0.0
Tahlia Sub Junior 0.9
Tyler Sub Junior 1.0
Kylie Junior 1.6
Mark Senior 0.0

first column (C2:C16) is the name of people in my tennis club

second row (D2:D16) is their division

and third row (J2:J16) is their ongoing score

what would the formula be if I wanted to put the leading top scorer for each division (senior, sub junior or senior) into three seperate cells?

Hi Drummy,

In cells B18-B20, enter "Senior", "Junior" and "Sub Junior", respectively.

In cell A18 enter the array formula:
=INDEX(A$2:A$16,MATCH(C18,IF(B$2:B$16=$B18,C$2:C$16,),0))
and copy down to row 20.

In cell C18 enter the array formula:
=MAX(IF(B$2:B$16=$B18,C$2:C$16,))
and copy down to row 20.

Note: array formulae are created with <Ctrl-Shift-Enter> instead of <Enter>

Cheers
