    Index Match - first reply found repeated.

    Still working on the "Wii Bowling League" spreadsheet, thanks to AVK, Pepe Le Mokko and GeoffW283 it is looking very good. Summing up the totals (high game, averages, etc.) and looking up the bowler's names is not working right. I used "=LARGE" to retrieve the Averages, then "=INDEX/MATCH" to retrieve the bowler's name. Index/Match repeats the first bowlers names found at that average. Here's the formula =INDEX($D$2:$D$10,MATCH(D14,$E$2:$E$10,0))

    The attachment is not working - please try again.

    INDEX MATCH is designed to return only the first match, so you will need something else for this.

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Re: Index Match - first reply found repeated.

    I used a helper column for this - F

    F2=SUMPRODUCT((E2>E$2:E$10)/COUNTIF(E$2:E$10,E$2:E$10))+1
    copied down.

    Then to extract your manes/scores
    D14=IFERROR(INDEX($E$2:$E$10,MATCH(MAX(F2:F10)-ROWS($A$1:A1)+1,$F$2:$F$10,0)),"")
    E14=IFERROR(INDEX($D$2:$D$10,MATCH(MAX(F2:F10)-ROWS($A$1:A1)+1,$F$2:$F$10,0)),"")
    copied down

    Thxs for your response - Ford, but I believe your response provides the next highest average with that bowler's name. What I'm trying to retrieve the second & third bowler's name (Pete & Polly) who also have a 193 average, instead of "HARRY" being repeated. Sorry for misleading you!

    Re: Index Match - first reply found repeated.

    OK no problem, perhaps I mis-read your requirement.

    Still using a helper column....
    F2=E2-COUNTIF($E$2:E2,E2)/1000
    copied down
    D14=IFERROR(INDEX($E$2:$E$10,MATCH(LARGE($F$2:$F$10,ROWS($A$1:A1)),$F$2:$F$10,0)),"")
    E14=INDEX($D$2:$D$10,MATCH(LARGE($F$2:$F$10,ROWS($A$1:A1)),$F$2:$F$10,0))
    both copied down
