    Finding the 'Most Common' From A List

    Hello,

    I am currently trying to organise a student yearbook for my pupils at school. We have given out sheets to students in order for them to nominate their peers for various awards such as 'Funniest Student', 'Most Caring Student' etc.

    I am trying to collate all of the data into an excel workbook. I have made two sheets within a workbook, which I have formatted how I want them to look like. I want to insert all the student's responses into one sheet, and somehow, the top 3 most occurring nominations are found and are inserted into the appropriate cells in the separate sheet.

    I have attached a copy of the workbook to help explain what I mean, and it will probably be clearer to you after you have seen it. Due to data protection the student names and tutor groups have been taken out and replaced with the word "REMOVED", yet I will paste them back in at a later time. So feel free to have a play around to see what I am talking about!

    Any help would be gratefully received!

    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi

    I appreciate why you have "removed" the names, but now "every-one" has teh same name, making it impossible to deternime who got voted for what.

    Ant chance you could populate your tabel with some dummy data to test on?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Regards
