Here's an approach that will take ties into consideration...

D2, copied down:

=RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$100)+COUNTIF($B$2:B2,B2)-1

E1:

=MAX(IF(B2:B100=INDEX(B2:B100,MATCH(F1,D2:D100,0)) ,D2:D100))-F1

...entered using CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER.

F1: contains your Top N parameter, in this case 25

G2, copied down:

=IF(ROW()-ROW(G$2)+1<=$E$1+$F$1,INDEX(A$2:A$100,MATCH(ROW()-ROW(G$2)+1,$D$2:$D$100,0)),"")

If you want to display the corresponding information, copy this formula
across and down.

Hope this helps!
