    Date controlled leader board

    Hi I’m looking for some help, and I apologise for my lack of excel know-how.

    I want to create a leader board where I can enter the date into cell Y2 and the leader board will populate in raking order (Lowest to Highest)

    In the example doc I have selected the date of 1/8/17 into Y2 which has taken the results (Total time per day) from B3:U3 and created the leader board showing the members name and time

    For this issue to be resolved the user could change the date in Y2 and the leader board would auto update. For an example please see Sheet2 which shows the date of 2/8/17

    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    Eddie

    Re: Date controlled leader board

    Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? Please don't attach a picture of one (no-one will want to re-type all your stuff before starting).

    1. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

    2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

    3. Make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!

    4. Try to avoid using merged cells. They cause lots of problems!

    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: Date controlled leader board

    Yep. Not as simple an answer as you might wish, though:

    In X6, an array formula, copied down:

    =INDEX($B$2:$U$2,SUMPRODUCT(($B$3:$U$22+1/(COLUMN(B$3:U$22)*10^8)=Y6)*(COLUMN($B$3:$U$22)-COLUMN($B$2)+1)))

    In Y6, another array formula, copied down:

    =IFERROR(LARGE(IF($A$3:$A$22=$Y$2,$B$3:$U$22+1/(COLUMN(B$3:U$22)*10^8)),ROWS($1:1)),"")

    This formula set-up is, however, robust enough to cope with tied results (see orange cells, two names are returned - if this was not catered for, one name would be returned twice...

    Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.

    You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

    Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...

    Wow, can't thank you enough I really didn't expect someone to help so much or so quickly.

    I think I'm following the formulas for the most part the one thing I was hoping to clarify is how you selected Y2 to be the input of the date?

    Isn't that here?

    =IFERROR(LARGE(IF($A$3:$A$22=$Y$2,$B$3:$U$22+1/(COLUMN(B$3:U$22)*10^8)),ROWS($1:1)),"")
