    If the areas were all distinct values, that is, no duplicates, you should be able to use

    If there were duplicate areas and you wanted only the first largest 3, then you'd need the more exotic

    The ROW(A2:A8)/2^10 term subtracts small monotonically increasing fractional values from the presumed integer values in column A, which ensures all resulting values are distinct, and duplicate values in rows with lower row numbers would be used first. Adjust the denominator, 2^10, as needed.
