    Search and display

    Hi,

    I don't know exactly what the function that I am after is, but, what I am trying to do is this:

    - Search columns E2:A11 and sort from highest to lowest.
    - Place results of the TEAM NAME (Columns A2:A11) representing the highest to lowest in column B16:B25.

    I don't know if it makes sense, but I have uploaded a sample for you.

    As you can see, this will need to be done for multiple columns, can you guys help me out please?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    in cell B16 enter

    =LARGE($E$2:$E$11,$A16)

    copy down. This will put the largest value in rank 1

    If you want the smallest value in rank one, use

    =SMALL($E$2:$E$11,$A16)

    Adjust the range for the other columns.

    does that do it for you?

    Nope, it just displays "1" :|

    I'm not sure what function to use for this, its kind of annoying! :D

    OK, relooking at it it displays the numbers, can I then reference it so it shows the TEAM, not the number?

    Hi,

    for your AST column try this

    =INDEX($A$2:$O$11,MATCH(LARGE($K$2:$K$11,$A16),$K$2:$K$11,0),1)

    I chose the AST column since all numbers are different, thus unique. The formula does return duplicates and triplicates (and more) if a number occurs more than once, like in FG%, but I'm sure there is a solution. Still working on it.

    Thanks, it works perfectly. I just changed the columns in the formula, and made sure that the data actually was different (the percentages) in th eother tables, and it worked wonderfully. Thanks for your help
