    Use the below for highest values in Column B and adapt for other columns accordingly

    =LARGE(B:B,1) for the highest result
    =LARGE(B:B,2) for the next highest
    =LARGE(B:B,3) for the next ...and so on
    Life's a spreadsheet, Excel!

    Use the below in F1 to pick the name of the highest value which you've already calculated in E1 and drag below till E5 to get the highest 5 names in Rows 1-5 respectively

    =INDEX($A:D,MATCH(E1,B:B,0),1)
