    Re: Look up to return in order highest to lowest

    Why not simply sort range B3:C15 ?
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...

    This range will change often so want the E3 and E4 to be consistent if that makes sense.

    I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you want the list automatically sorted in columns E and F? (That is, did you mean cells E3 and F3?)

    A very simple way would be to use a pivot table, which you can then simply refresh when your source data changes.
