    Help with formula to return bottom five rows that are not zero

    Dear All

    I was wondering whether someone can help me with a formula to achieve the following:

    I have a spreadsheet (attached) which shows the dept and their sales. I need a formula to show me the bottom five departments if their sales is not zer. In the attached i need to return the worst department to be 2517 with 5 and then D392 with 5 , D308 with 15 and so on.

    My actual spreadsheet has large number of rows and lots of the sales are 0 but I only need to show the bottom 5 departments whose sales were not zero.

    Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance

    =SMALL(IF(ISNA(MATCH($B$2:$B$27,$D$1:D1,)),$B$2:$B$27),ROWS($A$2:A2)) as array formula, d1=0

    Dear tim201110

    Can I please ask that whether I need to do the whole formula as an array or just upto ,d1=0 as it doesn't seem to work. Sorry if I am being naive.

    What I need to do is in column d1:d5 list the bottom five departments which their sales wasn't zero and column e1:e5 show those department's sales.

    Hope this makes sense.

    ARRAY formulas are used
    In D2, then drag down

    =INDEX($A$2:$A$27,SMALL(IF($B$2:$B$27=$E2,ROW($B$2:$B$27),""),COUNTIF($B$2:$B$27,$E2)))

    In E2 then drag down

    =SMALL(IF($B$2:$B$27>0,$B$2:$B$27,""),ROWS($E$2:$E2))

    Pl note
    Array formula should be confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter keys together.

    Re: Help with formula to return bottom five rows that are not zero

    Dear kvsrinivasamurthy
    Thanks for the quick response. I looked at the sheet and it shows Dep7 2715 as sales 0f 5 twice however 2517 and D392 have sales of 5. It seems the dept numbers and their sales is not pulled through correctly.

    Any help is appreciate it
