    INDEX MATCH Error

    I am trying to create a formula to create a top ten display. I want this to be calculated automatically.

    I have the office names in column C and the score in column K. Would like the result to go into column S & T.

    I think I can use the Index / Match function but I think this falls down when I get duplicate numbers in column K.

    I can get the top ten numbers displayed easily enough by using the LARGE function, but want the corresponding office name from column C to be displayed in order next to the number.

    A long after noon and I am nowhere any ideas anyone.

    I hope this makes sense!1.JPG

    Thank you in advance for any help that can be given

    Re: INDEX MATCH Error

    Try this, i can't make out your row numbers in the picture so you will need to modify it

    Put the formula in your Rank 1 cell and copy down as far as you need.
    =IFERROR(INDEX(C1:C15,MATCH(LARGE(K1:K15,ROW(1:1)),K1:K15,0)),"")
    You should hit F5, because chances are I've edited this post at least 5 times.

    Re: INDEX MATCH Error

    Hi

    I tried what you said and it worked to an extent, but it is getting confused by duplicate numbers.

    I have included the file if this helps any?

    Sorry RE the picture, I am not very experienced.

    Re: INDEX MATCH Error

    Hi,

    Please see the attached file, I have added a helper column for ranking the range and then top 10.

    In Column M: RANK(L10,$L$10:$L$26,0)+COUNTIF($L$10:L10,L10)-1
    Column S: =INDEX($B$8:$M$26,MATCH(ROW(A1),$M$8:$M$26,0),2)

    Re: INDEX MATCH Error

    Hi you helped me yesterday with this issue. This has worked perfectly, but I am not trying to do the same again but with a different column.

    What would I need to change to create the same process but this time just using numbers in column D?

    Change the L in D =>

    In Column M: RANK(D10,$D$10:$D$26,0)+COUNTIF($D$10:D10,D10)-1
    Notice my main language is not English.

    Re: INDEX MATCH Error

    Column "D" does not contain any data in the file which you had uploaded. Are you trying to SORT by "DHU Score" which is column E?

    Re: INDEX MATCH Error

    I have included a sample file to explain the problem.

    I am trying to create a table to each of the columns listed E - J.

    Obviously from the offices in Column C.

    Thanks again for any help.

    Re: INDEX MATCH Error

    Hi

    Really sorry my fault as I was not very clear, its the names of the offices I want to prioritise. So the office with the highest number would be at the top working down.

    As in example (in yellow) it works but only for the first 2 occurrence's.

    I very much appreciate all your help in this matter.

    Re: INDEX MATCH Error

    Hi

    Why use Rank+Countif?

    Not fair count 1 to 10

    Rank should be like this 1,1,1,1,4,4,4,4,4,4,10

    For top 10

    AP10
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    copy down to row 10.

    AQ10
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    copy down row 10

    AO10
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    copy down row 10.

    Did same to
    DHU Score,
    Attendance,
    Compliance,
    Issues,
    Turnover,
    Fran Free.

    See the file!

    Regard
