Help with VLOOKUP or other matching function
Hi there,
I can't seem to get the formula to work. This is what I have:
=INDEX(Sheet2!A2:A28,MATCH(LARGE(Sheet2!B2:B28,1)B 2:B28,0))
Excel keeps trying to put a * before the 2nd B2 near the end. If this helps:
A2:A28 are a list of names
B2:B28 is a list of scores
In cell A42 I have the high score. I would like cell A41 to give me the
name associated with that score.
Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

first largest
=LARGE(B2:B100,2)
second largest
To get the name associate with it
=INDEX(A2:A100,MATCH(LARGE(B2:B100,1),B2:B100,0))
Adjust your range to suit your needs

Hey gang,
I need help with the following problem. I have a worksheet that lists names
in colA, averages in colB, and scores in colC.
I'd like to be able to show the high scores in a different section on the
worksheet. I can use MAX function to locate the largest number (score, avg)
but how do I get the name associated with it? Also, how can I show the 2nd
and 3rd largest scores or averages? Will I have to use a different function
than MAX (such as LARGE)??
Thanks again for all the help!
Matt
