I think I'll stop while I'm ahead (There is a likelihood some of the values
will be ties).
You answered what I needed the most. Can't learn all of excel in one day.
Thanks again!

For the top 3.
Entered in C1 and copied down to C3:
=INDEX(A$1:A2$7,MATCH(LARGE(B$1:B$27,ROWS(C$1:C1)) ,B$1:B$27,0))

Very nice - that did the trick!
First time ever using the index function. Thank you.
A follow up though ~~ what if I wanted to show the top 3? Instead of
just
the top one.
I know, you just answered my conundrum flawlessly :) Now though I'm
thinking I may be able to step this up a notch.

a1:a27 = name
b1:b27 = value
How can i find the highest value in column b and place it's
corresponding
name into cell c1?
I realize this is likely a basic question, but I'm somewhat new to
excel
and
appreciate any help. Thanks in advance, Emil.
