    AUTOMATIC SORTING PROBLEMS

    This is what I have. I have arrived at this with scores taken from 5 score
    sheets per competitor, the top and lowest scores (each) have been discarded
    and what I am left with is the three middle scores calculated on this results
    page, (calculation formulas etc are hidden columns because this page is to be
    printed off and I don’t want the individual judges scores seen). The 3 are
    averaged to give a winner, 2nd,3rd,4th, & 5th placing.

    What I would like to do is for this list to automatically sort itself into
    the correct running order and place a (1st), (2nd ), 3rd) etc before or after
    the placings achieved. I can manually sort it by selecting a row number,
    data, sort etc but it needs to be automatic. I have fumbled around trying
    large, index, if etc, and cannot get it to work. Everytime the list sorts
    itself it leaves some behind or automatically changes the formula to suit
    itself ! Can you please help. I need to put this to bed today !

    Many thanks.

    RE: AUTOMATIC SORTING PROBLEMS

    Try in K7 (?)
    =rank(I7,$I$7:$I$11) and copy down to K11
    Note you need to decide whether Ties are allowable. and add a tie breaker
    somewhere if not
    in L7 enter "Winner"
    in L8 enter "Second" (note if ties are allowed you may have to play with
    this one)
    maybe =if(countif(I7:I11,1)>1,"Winner","Second"
    Do similar things for L9-L11
    In M7 enter
    =index(H$7:H$11,match(Row()-6,$K$7:$K$11,0))
    Copy to O11
    Add your labels to M6:O6 and print L6:O11

    Brilliant - thanks a load works perfectly and now I even understand how it
    works ! Thanks again. Next question, any ideas on how to make the sheet
    tabs (5 of them, one for each finalist) show the name of the finalist instead
    of the present ref. Each finalist would be on a different sheet and each
    finalist name is put on that sheet from another sheet (phew) which is called
    Set Up . The cells each contain a different name, B9,B10,B11,B12,B13
    (filled in when we know who the finalist are) and as they are filled in they
    transpose to the relevant "Climbers Sheet" Presentley Climber 1 (Sheet)
    relates to B9, Climber 2 (Sheet) relates to B10 and so on. Would be
    grateful if you could further help here. If not, thanks anyway for other
    help.

    A quick macro will do it
    assuming that your main worksheet is the furthest to the left on the
    worksheet names and that the others are in order to the right.
    a quick and dirty macrop to remane the sheets is

    Sub shnm()
    For i = 2 To 6
    Sheets(i).Name = Sheets(1).Cells(i + 7, 2)
    Next i
    End Sub

    RE: AUTOMATIC SORTING PROBLEMS

    Try in K7 (?)
    =rank(I7,$I$7:$I$11) and copy down to K11
    Note you need to decide whether Ties are allowable. and add a tie breaker
    somewhere if not
    in L7 enter "Winner"
    in L8 enter "Second" (note if ties are allowed you may have to play with
    this one)
    maybe =if(countif(I7:I11,1)>1,"Winner","Second"
    Do similar things for L9-L11
    In M7 enter
    =index(H$7:H$11,match(Row()-6,$K$7:$K$11,0))
    Copy to O11
    Add your labels to M6:O6 and print L6:O11

    RE: AUTOMATIC SORTING PROBLEMS

    Brilliant - thanks a load works perfectly and now I even understand how it
    works ! Thanks again. Next question, any ideas on how to make the sheet
    tabs (5 of them, one for each finalist) show the name of the finalist instead
    of the present ref. Each finalist would be on a different sheet and each
    finalist name is put on that sheet from another sheet (phew) which is called
    Set Up . The cells each contain a different name, B9,B10,B11,B12,B13
    (filled in when we know who the finalist are) and as they are filled in they
    transpose to the relevant "Climbers Sheet" Presentley Climber 1 (Sheet)
    relates to B9, Climber 2 (Sheet) relates to B10 and so on. Would be
    grateful if you could further help here. If not, thanks anyway for other
    help.
