    Thumbs up Returning Top Values From Multiple Critera

    All - hope all is well,

    I was hoping someone could help me with the following problem. I have a very large spreadsheet (27k rows) that I would like to do the following:

    Return the largest values for given 2 critera, without creating other columns where I separate different "Businesses" (Such as Joe in NY)

    Example:

    Name Area Balance
    Joe NY 25000
    Joe NY 26000
    Joe NY 15000
    Miriam NC 2350
    Stacey FL 65223
    Peter VT 154313
    Todd CA 0
    Todd CA 15
    Todd CA 25
    Todd CA 65
    Stacey FL 9855
    Stacey FL 9595
    Peter VT 1
    Peter VT 958469

    Using the Large() function will return the largest accounts, but how can I return the top two largest for Joe NY, Stacey FL, (assuming there are100s for each)?

    Any help is greatly appreciated..

    =LARGE(IF(A1:A100="Joe NY",B1:B100),1)

    =LARGE(IF(A1:A100="Joe NY",B1:B100),2)

    For largest and second larges account of Joe NY

    confim each with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER not just ENTER
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
