Default Best 8 from 11 results Formula Please

Still wanting more information....

Largest 8 scores per person? Overall for all competitors?
Do you want them listed somewhere on the worksheet?
Do you need names associated with the top 8 scores?
How do you want to handle tie scores?

Meanwhile, see the LARGE function in Excel Help.

Is that something you can work with?

Thanks for your answer Ron.
They are Kart racing scores but the highest 8 only count towards the
championship.
So it's the eight largest and a non appearance at a round would be a zero.
Thanks

"Calculate" and "Best" are a little vague.

Do you want to sum? average? the eight largest? smallest? smallest
non-zero?
If there are less than 8 values, return error? return "insufficient
data"? use available data?
Is the data in rows or columns?

Hello I've been trying to find the formula to calculate the best 8
scores from 11 results.
Scores are numbers from 0 to 130.
Can you help
Thanks
