Try this:

Numbers in the range A1:A20

Enter this formula in D1:

=LARGE(A$1:A$20,ROWS($1:1))

Enter this array formula** in E1:

=SMALL(IF(A$1:A$20=D1,ROW(A$1:A$20)),COUNTIF(D$1:D 1,D1))

Select both D1 and E1 and copy down a total of 7 rows or as needed.

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)

I have a column of numbers, and what I want to do is return the 7 highest
of
the numbers. Then, I want to be able to return the row number of each one
them. The only problem I have is, if two or more of the high numbers are
the
same, it will keep returning the same the row number, instead of the next
and
so on. And I CANT use the sort functions because I dont wanna mess up my
values

Any suggestions?

Please let me know. lol It's probably an easy answer, I just cant find it.
