    Find Top x Values and respective row/column titles

    hi folks,

    I have an excel sheet I am working on and can't for the life of me solve this one.

    I have a range of data in cells G15:J35.

    1. I want to find the top ten (for example) values in column J (stored as percentage) and return the value in column G.
    2. Then I also want to bring back the value from those same top ten.

    I have tried using the following formula, but it does not seem to bring back the correct values. (londonerrors is the name for the data in column J)

    =INDEX($G$17:$G$35,MATCH(LARGE(londonerrors,ROW(1:1)),londonerrors,0)) for point 1
    =INDEX($G$17:$J$35,MATCH(LARGE(londonerrors,ROW(1:1)),londonerrors,0),4) for point 2

    It seems to find the first instance of 100%, even when changing the ROW(1:1) part to ROW(2:2) and so on. Is it being affected by the fact there are multiple with 100%?

    "Is it being affected by the fact there are multiple with 100%?"

    Yes - to extract values from a list using that formula, you need to have unique values as your index. The way that I approach that is to create a column of formulas that 'break ties' but will not affect the order, along the lines of

    =J17 - ROW()/100000000

    Then use those cells with the MATCH /LARGE function. The order will be such that the tied values on lower row numbers (higher in the table) will be returned first.
