    Post Select the highest/lowest n values from a sorted column

    have a table with 12 columns (A:J) with the 11th column containing the user score and the 12th column containing the user rank. I have created a separate sub to sort the data as necessary. I am attempting to create a new sub to run after the sorting sub that would select the highest or lowest n (e.g. 3) values and then paste the associated rows in a separate sheet in the same workbook.

    A sample of the dataset can be seen here:

    I'm a newbie in VBA and programming. Any help would be appreciated.

    The attempted VBA code (DID NOT WORK) has been added below

    I'm sorry if I'm not helping here.
    Just want to understand what did you mean by this :

    Because from the image you post,
    I thought the highest score is 24 and the lowest score is 5 ?

    I want to select the 3 highest scores (24, 18, 14) from the dataset.
    I cannot fix the 3 values as I am looking for a more inclusive way of carrying out the operation that can be used in a variety of uses.
    Defining
    lNumTopEntries
    was to incorporate this flexibility.

    Since it has already been sorted the top and the bottom values are at the edge of the range.
    If your data from the OP is on Sheet1.

    That worked out fairly well, but how do I select recurring values? In the posted data, selecting the top 3 values should get the sub to select sample3:sample9.
    The code only selects the first 3 rows without checking if the values are repeating.
