Hi,
Try this.
Assume your data is in range C3:E14. In cell C18, enter Movie and in
cell
D18 enter Tuesday. In cell G18, enter =IF(C18="",G17,C18) and copy down
a
couple of rows. In cell C18, use this array formula (Ctrl+Shift+Enter)
=LARGE(($C$3:$C$14=LOOKUP(REPT("z",99),C$18:C18))* ($D$3:$D$14=LOOKUP(REPT("*z",99),D$18:D18))*($E$3: $E$14),COUNTIF(G$18:G18,G18))
Now you can copy this formula down as many rows. Also, keep adding more
criteria such as TV and Tuesday

I am trying to return the top N values from a list with corresponding
names. The criteria for ranking changes.
ColA:C contain my data (thousands of rows). ColD:E contain my
criteria (note below I want to return top 3 values). ColF sorts in
Top3 order.
ColA ColB ColC
ColD ColE ColF
Movie Friday $25
Movie Friday $26
Movie Friday $26
Movie Friday $25
Movie Friday $18
Movie Friday $18
TV Tues $12
Movie Tues $21
TV Tues $19
Movie Tues $19
TV Tues $21
Movie Tues $12
I would like to use a formla that can rank the data when the two
criteria in ColD & E are met. So when Movie and Friday show up in the
list of thousands, just return the top 3 values. Then when Movie and
Tues are met, return the top 3 values.
I know this can be done, but I am having trouble fixing my formulas
when the two criteria change.
Thanks in advance for your help.- Hide quoted text -
