    Angry INDEX MATCH Returning Duplicate Results

    Working on creating a Top 10 and Bottom 10 report however when Indexing and Matching it is bringing back duplicate responses. Have tried a lot and no success.
    Below is the image of the cells and here is the formula I am using.

    =INDEX('Missed Opportunities'!$C$3:$C$65,MATCH('Market Preview'!B5,'Missed Opportunities'!$O$3:$O$65,0))

    What is MAC OS 16.67 in terms of Excel versions? If you have 365, you can probably use FILTER. INDEX/MATCH in its usual form will always return the first matching record.

    Sorry about that. Have uploaded a spreadsheet as an example showing duplicate values returned. Original sheet is very large so indexing would be preferred.

    Re: INDEX MATCH Returning Duplicate Results

    And, again, if you have 365 and want to refer to the Data sheet, use these fully dynamic formulae:

    Re: INDEX MATCH Returning Duplicate Results

    @Hans: I like post #8. I must remember that approach for 2021 formulae.

    Easy to adjust to use the Data sheet too.

    That said, the area under the actual data needs to be cleared otherwise the results are skewed.

    Re: INDEX MATCH Returning Duplicate Results

    If you don't need a SORT you can even use this approach for Excel 2007.
