I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that you *didn't* enter the array formula using
CSE !

Once AGAIN:
--
Array formulas are entered using CSE, <Ctrl <Shift <Enter, instead of the
regular <Enter, which will *automatically* enclose the formula in curly
brackets, which *cannot* be done manually.

Which means ...
Click in B1 where you're getting a #VALUE! error.
Click in the formula bar to enter the edit mode.
Hold down <Ctrl and <Shift, and then hit <Enter.
You should now have an accurate return.

NOW, copy this *array entered formula* down to B149.

There would be ties, the LARGE function is the same. But the Index function
is resulting in #VALUE. Not working yet, I'm proberly missing something
simple

I would assume there is a possibility of ties.

Say you list is on Sheet1, A2 to F150.

Say your sorting formula is:

=LARGE(Sheet1!$F$2:$F$150,ROWS($1:1))

And is on Sheet2, in A1 to A149.

Try this *array* formula on Sheet2, in B1,


=INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$150,LARGE(IF(Sheet1!$F$2:$F$ 150=A1,ROW($1:$149)),COUNT
IF(A1:$A$149,A1)))

A2:A150 are NAMES, B2;E150 contain values, F2:F150 are the sum of the
vaues
for each name. On another worksheet I used a LARGE function to sort the
sum
into decending order, but I can't get the names to enter in the next
cell?

I have a list of names and an array of numbers to their names. I
have
sumed
the arrays of each name and placed them in accending order using
LARGE()
function. I need the names to come up in the box beside the

LARGE
function. So I can see who came 1st, 2nd, 3rd....etc
