Dear All,

I would like to rank my students but I do face prob if some of them have the
same marks

Example:

Jo 56
Mark 98
Simon 88
Stella 88
Jean 50

When I uses =large (range, 1) = Mark (tis is correct)
When I uses =large (range, 2) = Simon (tis is correct, its better if it show
both names)
When I uses =large (range, 3) = Simon (tis is wrong)
