Default Nested Formula

Try this:
A1: Rank
B1: Score
C1: Name

A2:A6 enter numbers 1 through 5

B2: =LARGE($N$14:$N$29,A2)
Copy that down through B6

C2: =INDEX($M$14:$M$29,MATCH(B2,$N$14:$N$29,0))
Copy that down through C6

Does that help?

This should be easy, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I have several columns of data relating to Hockey Team stats. One of the
columns contains total points per player. I would like to use the 'LARGE'
function to identify the top five values in the points coulmn, and return the
associated players name via an 'OFFSET' function. I have tried the
following, which looks OK to me, but doesn't seem to work.
=OFFSET(LARGE(M14:M29,1),0,-8)
