Thanks xlm.
i have successfully put that formula ( for 10 best scores ) into one cell
and it works. how do I now put that into every other line for each individual
who is playing. is there a way of copying that easily?. I have tried the copy
formula instructions and it does not seem to work?

try this formula to give you the total of top 10 scores
assuming that your scores are in column B2, place this in C2 and copy down
you need to change the cell's references to yours.

=SUM(LARGE($B$2:$B$20,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}))

or this formula which will give you the ranking of your top 10 scores

=RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$20,0)+COUNTIF($B$2:B2,B2)-1

Alternatively, you can Sort Ascending or use Auto Filter in Excel to
identify the top 10 scorers and scores.
To use Auto Filter,
click on cell A1
Select Data on the menu Filter
Click Auto Filter. your spreadsheet
click the arrow down small button
choose Top 10

Excel will populate the top 10 scores for you

Pls post back if you encounter any problem
