Default Return 2nd Lowest Value Q

I'm not sure why everyone is so hung up on using formulas to
accomplish this. Why not use a PivotTable instead? It's faster and
easier, and once it's set up, all you have to do is refresh it each
time source data changes.

This was very helpful for me however i need a little more help if possible. I
am analyzing statistics for a sport (hockey) sometimes two players could have
the same value as an example player 1 has 5 goals player 2 has 8 goals and
player 3 has 5 goals. The result of this formula takes player 1 each time as
the result. How can i tweak this formula to show all the players even if they
are tied and in order? As Player 2 - 8 player 1-5 player 3-5

Use the SMALL function, like this:


INDEX(A8:A34,MATCH(SMALL(G8:G34,2),G8:G34,0))


Change the 2 to 3, 4, 5 etc to get the next smallest.


Hope this helps.

The formula below returns the the name associated with the lowest
